Introduction Experion PKS®embeds three decades of Honeywell process control, asset
management, and domain expertise, combined with Six Sigma methodologies,
into a unified Process Knowledge System architecture. Experion PKS optimizes
work processes, improves routine maintenance efficiencies, and releases
personnel from manual processes. Capturing and managing untapped process
knowledge in a single Process Knowledge Solution™, Experion PKS delivers
process and control data using innovative technologies that are only offered by
Honeywell. These technologies fully integrate with existing Honeywell systems,
including TPS, TDC2000®, TDC3000®, TotalPlant®Alcont, FSC, and the PlantScape®system.
Process Knowledge – Beyond Distributed Control
Experion PKS Process Knowledge capabilities expand the role of distributed control, addressing all of
manufacturing’s critical business objectives to facilitate knowledge sharing and workflow management.
The result is improved operating profit, capital cost and cash flow. Delivering a robust, scalable, plant-
wide system, Experion PKS connects your operations staff with the latest automation technology as
well as with each other. Built on a rock-solid foundation of process control and safety system know-
how, this next-generation system provides
unprecedented connectivity through all levels of process
and business operations. This is a truly collaborative
production and safety management solution.
In addition to embedding Distributed Control System
(DCS) technologies, Experion PKS integrates powerful
knowledge-driven decision support and diagnostic tools,
providing information where and when it is needed. This
revolutionary system approach unifies business,
process, safety, and asset management to:
• Facilitate knowledge capture
• Promote knowledge sharing
• Optimize work processes
• Accelerate improvement and innovation
Unified, Collaborative Architecture
Experion PKS is a unified, collaborative architecture with state-of-the-art DCS capabilities that
encompass Abnormal Situation Management®(ASM®), Safety Management, and Information
Management technologies. Experion PKS interfaces with FOUNDATION* Fieldbus, Profibus,
DeviceNet, LON, ControlNet and Interbus. Robustness, security, compliance, control, safety, and
reliability are plant-wide, penetrating all layers of the architecture to provide the only available high-
performance, plant-wide infrastructure. Experion PKS’ distributed control features include a complete
continuous, logic, sequential, and drive object-oriented control environment hosted on fully redundant
controllers.
By unifying the plant-wide architecture, Experion PKS allows you to make the right product at the right
time, optimize and automate, increase workforce effectiveness, and increase availability of resources
while reducing incidents. Rather than taking the narrow instrument-centric approach that informs you
only when there is a need to replace a valve or perform maintenance, Experion PKS establishes a
broad, process-centric view of your plant operations by focusing on the impact to operational
objectives, not only the replacement of devices. This is the key to optimizing performance. Combining
DCS functionality and a plant-wide infrastructure, the Experion PKS unified architecture provides
collaborative production management solutions for Knowledge Management, Asset and Abnormal
Situation Management, Business Process Integration, and Optimization and Automation.
