Introduction
Platforms sold by Honeywell are engineered for the process control mission of Experion systems to
provide consistent, robust performance. Through an extensive qualification process, Honeywell
defines specific peripheral devices, slot locations, and BIOS settings for best performance and
reliability, sometimes even adding cooling fans for longer service. Honeywell platforms are then built to
Honeywell specifications by the computer manufacturer.
Honeywell engineering has tested the workstation with other Honeywell hardware and software and
has qualified its use for specific configuration items as identified in the Software Change Notice (SCN).
This workstation is not a standard Dell model and cannot be ordered independently from Dell. The
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) is well trained and supports Honeywell platforms. Use of any other
workstation, including a similar Dell model, is considered a project special and its TAC support is
limited according to the services policy.
The workstation platform provides computer-based functionality for Experion and TPS system,
including Global User Stations (GUS) or Universal Station (PCUS). For TPS systems, the platforms may
have a LCNP4e/LCNP4e2 card installed allowing connection to the TotalPlant Process Network (TPN)
coax through the LCN Media Access Unit (MAU). Additionally, these platforms connect to the Ethernet
through a standard Ethernet adapter card or the optional FTE Ethernet adapter card.
The Honeywell-configured Dell Precision R5500 workstation release for Experion and TPS is qualified
on Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (32-bit), Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), Microsoft
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016, and Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit) operating systems. Refer to the
Software Change Notices (SCN) for compatibility with other software products.
The following workstation platforms are defined by the TAB numbers.
Lower capability processor a single hard drive with Dual video controller card with Tab – 100
l
Higher capability processor with two hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration with Dual video
l
controller card with Tab – 200
The peripheral electronics assemblies are based upon the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI)
bus, PCI Express, or USB 1.1 / 2.0 protocols. All mass storage and removable media devices are
connected through the SATA, SATA II 3.0 or USB, depending on the Honeywell-configured Dell
Precision R5500 workstation configuration. There is one SATA interconnection for the DVDRW (±)
drive.
