1. Product Introduction

1.1. Experion System

The Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) is Honeywell’s unified control system for process, business, and asset

management that helps industrial manufacturers increase their profitability and productivity. Experion takes customers well

beyond distributed control system (DCS) functionality with an advanced automation platform solution and innovative

application integration to improve business performance and peace of mind.

Refer to the “Experion CEE-based Controllers and I/O Overview” (document number EP03-290-rrr) for prerequisite

information. This document is written with the expectation that the reader understands the information and concepts covered

in the overview document.

1.2. Architecture Overview

The Experion platform comprises many different integrated hardware and software solutions depending upon the needs of

the application. This pictured architecture is a representation of many of the possible nodes that can be utilized in the

Experion architecture. Note that the architecture is highly scalable and not all nodes are necessary or required.

Version 1 Honeywell Proprietary 21 September 2021

1.3. Experion Simulation Overview

The Experion simulation capability supports two types of control simulation, one is where an engineer would like to do control

strategy checkout. In this case the engineer can configure a tail to mouth closed loop with a delay function to test a control

strategy or he can do open loop testing by simulating input values directly from the Control Builder interface.

The second type is the operator training simulation in combination with the Honeywell’s UNISIM product. In the latter case

the process is simulated by the UNISIM process simulator using actual output values from the controller simulation and

feeding new input values back to the control simulation. The complete system behaves as if it was controlling the real plant.

Release 520 Experion Simulation Specification® 22 September 2021 Version 1

1.4. Available simulation environments

The Experion system currently supports the following simulated control environments:

• SIM-C200 ; this is the simulation environment for the C200 controller

• SIM-C200E; this is the simulation environment for the C200E controller

• SIM-C300 ; this is the simulation environment for the C300 controller

• SIM-IOLIM; this is the simulation environment for the IOLIM module used to connect PMIO to the C200 controller

• SIM-ACE; this is the simulation environment for the Application Control Environment

• SIM-FFD; this is the simulation environment for the Series C Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM4, FIM8)

• SIM-EHPM, this is the simulation environment for the EHPM controller

All simulation environments execute on a server grade PC platform, each platform supports multiple simulation

environments.

1.5. UNISIM compatibility

A simulation environment needs to support advanced simulation capabilities like controller freeze, step execution, unfreeze

and dynamic data save and restore to be fully usable in an operator training scenario. The table below shows the simulation

environments compatibility

SIM-C200E Yes

by SIM-FFD.

1.6. Features with limited support

2.1.1. Simulation Capacity Definitions

HFD – High Fidelity Deterministic Simulation

This Simulation Configuration is required when the Experion Simulation System is integrated with the UniSim Operator

Training System (OTS). When this configuration is required, the SIM-XXX Nodes loaded on the SCE (Simulation Control

Environment) Server are expected to execute “deterministically” in the same Guaranteed Execution Order (GEO) and with

SIM-Cxxx CEE average base cycle executing every 50ms, and SIM-ACE CEE average base cycle every 500ms. In this

case, the Server PC performance and the quantity of SIM-CEEs loaded are very important and must adhere to the formula

listed below.

SCSC – System Configuration and Strategy Checkout Simulation

This Simulation Configuration can be used when Experion Simulation is not integrated with UniSim, but is being used by

Project Engineers or Customers to configure, load, and debug control strategies on the Experion system prior to actual

Controller & I/O Hardware being available. When this configuration is selected, the SIM-XXX Nodes loaded on the SCE

Server are expected to execute in the same Guaranteed Execution Order (GEO), but NOT necessarily in the same

Execution Time Periods as they would behave in their Native environment. In this case, the Server PC performance and the

quantity of SIM-CEEs loaded are not as important.

2.1.2. Simulation Capacity Formulas

The capacity limits for the Simulation Control Environment (SCE) Server is variable based upon the selected Server PC (the

total number of processor cores) and the simulation type (HFD or SCSC) required and the mix of SIM-XXX nodes loaded on

the SCE server.

HFD – High Fidelity Deterministic Simulation

For HFD, the number of cores required on the simulation control environment (SCE) server is determined by the following

formula:

Cores Required = #SIM-ACEs + 0.4 x (#SIM-C300s + #SIM-C200s + #SIM-C200Es) + 0.1 x (#SIM-FFDs1 + #SIM-IOLIMs)

Page 10: Experion Simulation Specification

Experion Simulation Specification, EP03-360-520 9

Version 1 Honeywell Proprietary 21 September 2021

Notes:

1. Deterministic SIM-FFD integrated with UniSim is not supported.

The following example configurations would all require a 4 core machine:

• 10 SIM-C300s only

• 8 SIM-C200s and 8 SIM-IOLIMs

• 4 SIM-C200s, 4 SIM-C200Es and 8 SIM-IOLIMs

• 4 SIM-ACEs only

SCSC – System Configuration and Strategy Checkout Simulation

Capacity limits per SCE node for SCSC are not published or validated, and are generally described as “unlimited” within

certain overall server PC resource (CPU and memory) constraints, controller, FIM, and ACE limits per Experion server, and

overall CDA PPS performance per SCE. SIM-XXX nodes loaded in an SCSC configuration are automatically supported for

guaranteed execution order (GEO) because the CEE design always enforces ORDERINCEE and ORDERINCM, regardless

of the CPU and Memory resources available. However, the execution time period (base cycle) is not enforced, and as the

server CPU and memory become exhausted, all loaded SIM-CEEs will “slow down”. If there are “deterministic” requirements

for the Strategy Checkout, then the formula used above for HFD should be adhered to.

Note: Unique FF Block Types are defined as the

number of unique blocks across all devices

connected to a FIM. Each time a new unique device

is connected to the link, one unique block type may

be reserved for each unique block in that device.

For example, suppose device X, containing an AI

and a PID block, is connected to a FIM. This would

reserve two unique block types. Adding several

more of this device to the FIM would not require

additional unique block types. Suppose a different

device Y, containing an AO, is connected to the FIM.

This would reserve one unique block type.

4. Glossary

Term or Acronym Description

ACE Application Control Environment. Experion controller node hosted on a server computer platform. The

ACE node is ideally suited for supervisory control solutions and integration with third party control

systems.

C200 A specific type of Honeywell Process Controller

C300 A specific type of Honeywell Process Controller based on the series C form factor

CDA Control Data Access is the Experion system communication infrastructure and data access interface

schema that provides application integration with Experion system objects.

ControlNet Real-time control-layer network.

DSA Distributed System Architecture

Experion Server The node (optionally redundant) at the heart of Experion. The servers encompasses a wide range of

subsystems including history collection, SCADA interfaces, alarm/event, etc.

FIM Foundation Fieldbus Interface Module

FTE Fault Tolerant Ethernet, the Experion control network

IOLIM IO Link Interface Module. Services and processes all communications between the Experion Controllers

and Process Manager IO (PMIO)

SCE Simulation Control Environment. An Experion node that hosts the simulated controller environments.
