Modern technology is required to ensure that plants using the TotalPlant™, Solution (TPS), system do not become obsolete. TPS was introduced in 1998 and has helped to establish open plant automation with many advanced applications. Its users now have to deal with compliance issues due to new safety regulations and increasing system support challenges. Experion LCN allows users to keep their existing control strategy, field terminations and applications, history, graphics, and graphics, allowing them to focus on high-value improvement. It minimizes operational disruptions, maintains consistency, and offers optional lifecycle benefits with virtualization. It also opens up the door to Honeywell's Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), which connects people to assets, automates predictive analysis, and facilitates collaboration.
