OBSOLETE EQUIPMENT MAY INTERFERE WITH YOUR PLANT OPERATIONS

Standardization and integration challenges

  • Growing vulnerability and cybersecurity risk in modern installations
  • Problems complying with new safety standards
  • Interoperability challenges due to lack of support for new open protocols
  • Lack of standardization across control devices, networks and databases

Increased operating cost

  • Unplanned shutdowns resulting from unsupported equipment
  • Increased maintenance expenses due to unavailability of spare parts
  • High costs to manage multi-vendor PLCs

Technical skills obsolescence

  • Loss of knowledge to maintain outdated systems and limited documentation support
  • Limited skills for legacy PLC programming
  • Isolated information in operational siloes

TRANSFORM OBSOLETE PLCs FROM LIABILITIES INTO PRODUCTIVE ASSETS

Seamless integration

The synergies created along with the implementation of Honeywell Experion® drive cost optimization and better decision-making.

While the integration to new age Honeywell Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) enables efficient energy management and control of motors, pumps, and fans in the plant

Greater engineering flexibility 

Reduce your project overhead by choosing the best fit from various I/O options from ControlEdge™ 900 and the MasterLogic platform.

Simplify your engineering and hardware requirements, easily adapt to design changes, and optimize the spare parts inventory.

Built-in connectivity options 

Easily integrate with Honeywell and non-Honeywell assets thanks to the compatibility available across a wide set of protocols built into the controller and through serial communication modules.

Leverage secure encryption and authentication technologies, and an expanded visibility of control functions to enhance your control system.

Proven cybersecurity capabilities 

The ISASecure Level 2 certification ensures the protection of your critical assets, together with the built-in control firewall, a signed firmware, and a tamper-proof design

MIGRATE TO UP-TO-DATE, CYBERSECURE PLCs

Honeywell’s migration service allows for the superior integration with our DCS, Field Instruments, Variable Frequency Drives and other 3rd party devices as well as the possibility to retain the original wiring, cabinets, and program design. This leads to a lower total cost of ownership and enables faster decision making.

This is complemented by a comprehensive support for the legacy PLC program conversion using Honeywell’s tools and the expertise of the global engineering team, designed to protect the customer’s intellectual property. 

Migration tools can also be deployed over mobile devices in order to survey and document the number of obsolete PLCs at a site, while capturing relevant data for accurate upgrade planning. In addition, pre- and post-migration reports provide extensive support for design, installation and commissioning of new PLCs.
