DCS for small to mid-size operations

20 November 2013

Honeywell has released Experion LX, a purpose-built distributed control system (DCS) for small to mid-size operations with continuous and batch process control applications.

Experion LX is designed specifically for smaller plants – less than 5000 I/O points, one engineering server and up to 15 operator stations – that require a control system that is easy to use, while robust enough to handle today’s complex units. It encompasses technology from Honeywell’s proven and widely-used Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), and provides an agile way for process manufacturers to improve plant reliability, safety and efficiency, as well as facilitate a fast implementation and a reduction in total lifecycle costs.

"Just like large refining plants, smaller industrial enterprises need to manage their processes safely and efficiency,” said Don Maness, vice president of Honeywell Process Solutions. "With Experion LX, we have made Honeywell’s proven DCS technology available to a more diverse group of manufacturing plants.  It provides a purpose-built system flexible enough to meet their specific needs now and in the future.  It is also easy to implement and use, which allows our customers to go to market faster and to be more agile in responding to product changes.”
