Honeywell February 2014
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
This document contains a description of Experion LX components for installation within
Division 2 and Zone 2 hazardous areas. Equipment installed within Zone 2 and Division
2 is intended to be used in places in which explosive atmospheres caused by gases,
vapors or mists are unlikely to occur or, if it does occur infrequently and for a short
period only. The Experion LX models are certified as nonincendive; Non-Arcing, type
nA, and protected sparking, type nC.
For the application of the Experion LX hardware components, the hardware has to be
built and installed according to the FM and CSA guidelines for Division 2/Zone 2. This
document describes the considerations and requirements for the Experion LX hardware
components, which have been certified by FM and CSA for applications in hazardous
locations.

1.2 1.2 Architecture Overview

The Experion LX 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 used in the Experion LX
architecture. Note that the architecture is highly scalable and not all nodes are necessary
or required.
Series 8 C300 Controller Overview
Honeywell’s C300 Controller provides powerful and robust control for the Experion LX
system. The C300 is a node in operating Honeywell’s field-proven deterministic Control
Execution Environment (CEE) core software. The CEE software provides a superior
control execution and scheduling environment. Control strategies for each controller
node are configured and loaded through a common Control Builder, an easy and intuitive
engineering tool.
In addition to a standard and robust library of pre-built function blocks and algorithms,
the C300 Controller also supports Custom Algorigthm Blocks (CABs). Custom
Algorithm Blocks are similar in purpose and structure to the standard function blocks that
are distributed with Control Builder. However, CABs have user-defined algorithms and
data structures, allowing custom tailored strategies to be developed to specific
requirements.
S e rie s 8 P ro fib u s Ga te wa y Mo d u le Ove rvie w
The PROFIBUS Gateway Module provides a common module platform to support the
interface to the PROFIBUS DP and the C300 Controller. The PGM is developed in the
Series 8 form factor for use with the C300 Controller. The Series 8 form factor employs

R110 Experion LX Hardware Installation Guide 11

Honeywell February 2014
1. Introduction
1.2 Architecture Overview

an Input Output Termination Assembly (IOTA) and an electronics module which mounts
and connects to the IOTA.
As a PROFIBUS gateway, PGM is always a master and communicates with the
PROFIBUS compatible slave devices.
The PGM mounts in the same fashion and shares all characteristics, power and
grounding, certifications, and meets all environmental rating as all other Series 8
components.
The PGM is optionally redundant and supports two DP networks per module.

to perform a specific I/O function. The IOM plugs onto the IOTA.

Features

12 Experion LX Hardware Installation Guide R110

Honeywell February 2014
 1. Introduction
1.2 Architecture Overview
All Series 8 components feature an innovative design that supports enhanced heat
management. This unique look provides significant reduction in overall size for the
equivalent function.
The unique features of Series 8 I/O include:
• I/O Module and field terminations are combined in the same area. The I/O Module is
plugged into the IOTA to eliminate the need for a separate chassis to hold the
electronics assemblies
• Two level “detachable” terminals for landing the field wiring in the enclosure,
providing easier plant installation and maintenance.
• Field power is supplied through the IOTA, with no need for extra power supplies
and the associated craft wired marshalling
• Redundancy is accomplished directly on the IOTA without any external cabling or
redundancy control devices, by simply adding a second IOM to an IOTA
• For both IOM and IOTA, coated (module numbers starting with 8C) and uncoated
(module numbers starting with 8U) options are provided. Conformal coating
material is applied to electronic circuitry to act as protection against moisture, dust,
chemicals, and temperature extremes. Coated IOM and IOTA are recommended
when electronics must withstand harsh environments and added protection is
necessary.
The Series 8 inherits the innovative styling of Series C. This styling includes features to
facilitate the effective use of control hardware in a systems environment. These features
include:
• Vertical mounting allows for more effective wiring since most fields wiring
applications require entry from the top or bottom of the systems cabinet.
• An “information circle” allows for a quick visual cue to draw the Maintenance
Technician’s eyes to important status information.
• “Tilted” design allows for effective heat management within the cabinet enclosure.
Since Series 8 allows for a significant increase in cabinet density, an effective heat
management system is critical for high systems availability.
• Input and output circuits are protected from shorts to alleviate the need for in- line
fusing, reducing installation and maintenance costs
Series 8 IOTAs combine multiple functions into a single piece of equipment:
• Single and redundant configurations
• On-board termination of process signals
• On-board signal conditioning
• On-board connection to appropriate networks (FTE, I/O LINK)
• Field power distribution without external marshalling

1. Introduction
1.2 Architecture Overview

• IOM plugs into the IOTA and receives power from the IOTA
• The IOTA receives its power through cables from header board.

Series 8 I/O Sizing

In virtually all configurations, the C300 controller and Series 8 I/O provides useful,
maintainable process equipment connections in a smaller footprint than competitors’
systems. Installing Series 8 I/O modules contributes to overall total installed cost savings.
IOTA sizes vary based on the application. In general, an analog module has 16 points and
resides on a 6-inch (152mm) IOTA for non-redundant applications and a 12-inch
(304mm) IOTA for redundant applications. A discrete module has 32 points and resides
on a 9-inch (228mm) IOTA for non-redundant applications and a 12-inch (304mm)
IOTA for redundant applications. Specific information on the size of a particular module
can be found in the Model Number Table.

I/O Module Functions

• TC/RTD (16pt) – Provides thermocouple (TC) and resistance temperature device
(RTD) inputs.
• Analog Input – Single Ended (16pt) - The Analog Input Module supports analog
inputs Analog inputs are typically 4-20mA DC for traditional devices.
• Analog Input with HART – Single Ended (16pt) – The Analog Input Module
supports both analog and HART inputs. Analog inputs are typically 4-20mA DC for
both traditional and HART devices. HART data can be used for status and
configuration. HART data, such as the secondary and tertiary variables, can also be
used as process control variables.
• Analog Input with HART – Differential (16pt) – The Analog Input Module supports
Single Ended or Differential analog inputs, and
HART inputs.
• Analog Output (16pt) – The Analog Output
Module supports standard 4-20mA DC outputs.
• Analog Output with HART (16pt) – The
Analog Output Module supports both standard
4-20mA DC outputs and HART transmitter
outputs.
• Digital Input Sequence of Events (32pt) -
Accepts 24VDC discrete signals as discrete
inputs. The inputs can be time tagged to support
1ms resolution Sequence of Events.
• Digital Input 24 VDC (32pt) – Digital input

14 Experion LX Hardware Installation Guide R110

Honeywell February 2014
 1. Introduction
1.2 Architecture Overview
sensing for 24V signals
• Digital Input Pulse Accumulation (32pt) – Accepts 24VDC discrete signals as
discrete inputs. The first 16 channels can be configured either as Digital Input or
Pulse accumulation to support Pulse Accumulation and frequency measurement on
per channel basis.
• Digital Output 24 VDC (32 pt) – Current sinking digital outputs. Outputs are
electronically short-circuited protected.
• DO Relay Extension Board (32 pt) – Digital output with NO or NC dry contacts. It
can be used for low power or high power applications.

Series 8 Field Connections

Series 8 Field connections use a standard modular connector. The connector modularity
allows for removal and insertion of the field wiring. This significantly reduces
installation and maintenance procedures and can assist in field check out. Series 8 field
connectors accept up to 12ga AWG / 2.5 mm2 stranded wire.

IOTA Sizes
IOTA Sizing is nominal (6in = 152mm, 9in =228mm, 12in =304mm). I/O modules are
associated with their respective IOTAs in the table below. The I/O Module is supported
by one or more IOTAs.

• General grounding guidelines:

WARNING
The grounding system must be installed in accordance with the National
Electrical Code (NEC), Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), and any other
applicable electrical codes (to include: IEEE-142; Lightning Protection
Institute Installation Code LPI-175; NFPA-78 (ANSI); IEEE Std. 142-1972).
A broken or high resistance safety ground creates a potentially lethal
situation, especially in equipment that incorporates line filters. The line
filters include appreciable line-to-chassis capacitance. As a result, if the
green or green/yellow ground wire is not intact, a person touching the
equipment and ground can receive a serious and possibly fatal shock.

Adequate grounding is important for safety considerations and for reducing

electromagnetic noise interference. All earth-ground connections must be permanent
and provide a continuous low impedance path to earth ground for induced noise
currents and fault currents. Refer to the following guidelines when considering the
grounding requirements of your system:
For safe operation of your equipment, a high-integrity grounding system must be
installed as part of the building's wiring system.
− An equipment ground wire must be enclosed with the circuit conductors (phase
and neutral wires),
− The isolated ground wire must run directly from the outlet to the power source
− The size of the ground conductor must be the same as, or larger, than the circuit
conductors supplying the equipment
− The ground conductor must be securely bonded to the building-ground electrode
− Grounding provisions must be in accordance with the NEC, CEC, and any other
local codes.

Removal and insertion under power
3.5 Removal and insertion under power
Many of the Experion LX system's modules (that is, I/O Communications) are designed
to permit removal and insertion under power (RIUP) without damaging the module or
interrupting backplane communications. However, arching or sparking can occur anytime
electrical connections are made or broken. For this reason, removal and insertion must
not be performed in hazardous locations when the modules are under power.
WARNING
Experion LX's removal and insertion under power (RIUP) feature does not
apply to installations that must conform to Division 2/Zone 2, Hazardous
Location requirements. Unless the location is known to be non-hazardous,
DO NOT do the following:
• Connect or disconnect cables;
• Connect or disconnect Removable Terminal Blocks (RTBs);
• Install or remove modules.
• Remove or replace fuse
• Operate DIP (Address) switch

Experion LX communication ports

Experion LX has two Ethernet ports, two RS232 ports and two RS485 ports. All of these
ports can be used to communicate with SCADA, third-party devices and so on.
RS232 ports and Ethernet ports
An RJ45 female connector is provided for each of RS232 and Ethernet ports. These ports
are identical in both connection and functionality. The connection between RJ45 male
and female follows EIA/TIA-561 standard.
For RS232 ports, a pre-wired DB9F to RJ45F adapter is included in these units. Use this
adapter to make a connection between a serial port on your computer (DB9 male) and
RJ45 female on Experion LX.

Figure 3: RJ45 Pin Locations (for RS232 and Ethernet)

RS485 ports
RS485 port is also available on all Experion LX units. Experion LX provides two RS485
connections to some specific equipment. It is provided with four terminals: for signal

ground, 485+, 485- and termination. Generally, + is connected to + and – is connected to

– between units. However, there is no standard for RS485 terminal designations. The
situations that + to – or – to + are allowed in some cases. These unconventional
operations don’t result in any damages. It is highly recommended that you connect the
signal ground to an appreciate ground if available between all RS485 units. Ensure to use
a good quality communication cable with three conductors (twisted is preferred) with a
shield. To prevent ground loops, the shield must be connected to chassis ground on any
one end of any cable connection.

ATTENTION
If you have an existing wiring that has only two conductors and a shield, you
can use the shield to connect the signal grounds between stations. This is not
an optimal (especially for long cable connection) method, but works in most
situations.

RS485 Terminals: The Experion LX units have RS485 termination components (150-
ohm resistor and a 0.1 µF capacitor connected in series). To terminate the RS485
network, connect the “T” terminal to the RS485 terminal. Ensure to use the same type
and size of the conductor as used previously for your RS485 connection. It is
recommended that both the end stations connected to your RS485 network be terminated.
For third-party devices, refer to their user manual for termination instructions.

ATTENTION
Incorrect connections of RS485 will cause communication failure.

Bias Resistors: On a RS485 2-wire network, a pair of bias resistors (1K ohm typically) is
required for the transmit/receive wires. The function of bias resistors is to force the
transmit/receive wires to a known (non-floating) state when none of the RS485 devices
are transmitting data. If the bias resistors are not present, the inputs received on some
RS485 devices may react to the noise on the floating wires. Some RS485 devices have
bias resistors built-in, and are enabled through DIP-switch or jumper settings. Make sure
that there is only one pair of bias resistors acting upon the network.

Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or support center listed in the “Support and other
contacts” section of this document. When requesting support, supply as many relevant
details about the problem.
When a controller failure occurs, you should gather information about the controller and
the conditions under which it failed. This information will be beneficial to Honeywell
TAC to help in diagnosing and correcting the fault and/or replacing the controller
hardware.
Use this list to obtain information from the controller and the system so that when you
contact Honeywell TAC a complete description of the problem can be made.
• Remove and replace the failed controller. Refer to the section Error! Reference
source not found. for details.
• Install the failed controller in a safe off-process location and start it up.
Obtain the following:
• Hardware revision number of the controller
• Firmware revision, both the Boot image and Application image
• The RTU System Release number in which the controller was operating.
Additional information regarding the operating conditions of the controller and
sequence of events:
• Was the controller operating in a redundant or non-redundant hardware
configuration?
• What was the redundancy state of the controller at the time of the failure, if
redundant?
• Any other status or fail indications on the controller's faceplate observed at the time
of the failure or following the event?
• Provide a detailed summary of the sequence of events leading up to the failure.
• What operations preceded the event, such as: load, activate, change parameter, delete,
power cycle, synchronization, switchover, and so on?
