Migrating from TDC 2000 Data Hiway

Since its introduction in 1975, Honeywell has protected your investment in TDC 2000 technology by providing an easy upgrade path to the latest control system technology without having to scrap your legacy hardware and software.

By migrating from your present TDC 2000 system to Experion, you enter another dimension of process control.

Honeywell provides two services to help with migration: Signal Match and Control Match.

• Signal Match is a suite of hardware assemblies and project services that easily transfer the I/O connections of your existing TDC 2000 vintage control system over to Experion equipment.
• Control Match is a suite of services that translates your existing control algorithms and schemes to Experion, giving you access to the many new capabilities in Experion and providing the ability to make more informed business decisions.

With goals for increased productivity and decreased maintenance costs, many companies are looking to Honeywell’s Experion® Process Knowledge System (PKS) as a path to the newest technology. Experion is the only process automation system designed to manage your business, processes, and assets in one unique system.  

In order to determine the most efficient and cost-effective migration strategy, Honeywell offers a system assessment of each customer's specific requirements.

The assessment includes:

• Evaluation of automation goals
• An audit of the current system and process
• Recommendations for HMI migration and effective operator displays
• Recommendations for hardware migration and protecting current installation investment
• Personnel training and implementation plans
• Optimization and integration recommendations

The first step in migrating your current system is to call Honeywell for a system assessment. Based on the results of the assessment, we will provide an estimate of the timing and costs involved so you can implement a migration plan that works best for you. We can also provide suggestions on how to fund your migration over time.
