Honeywell automation in Kenya: ControlEdge PLC, Experion HMI and SmartVFD drives
Programming and integrating Honeywell ControlEdge PLCs and RTUs, Experion displays and SmartVFD HVAC drives for process plants, utilities and buildings.
Honeywell control systems run process plants, utilities and large buildings. We program ControlEdge controllers, modify Experion displays, commission SmartVFD drives and integrate Honeywell systems with other equipment on site.
Honeywell equipment we program and configure
| Equipment | Product families | Software we use |
|---|---|---|
| PLCs and RTUs | ControlEdge PLC, ControlEdge RTU | ControlEdge Builder |
| HMI and SCADA | Experion PKS, Experion HS | HMIWeb Display Builder |
| VFDs | SmartVFD HVAC, Honeywell process VFDs | Keypad and start-up wizard |
Networks and protocols: Modbus TCP and RTU, OPC UA, BACnet for buildings.
What we do on Honeywell systems
- Controller programming and SCADA integration
- Display and alarm changes in Experion
- HVAC drive commissioning and BMS integration
How we work on your Honeywell system
- Back up first. Before we touch anything, we upload and save the existing program, HMI project and drive parameters, so the machine can always be returned to how it was.
- Understand the process. We walk the machine with your operators and maintenance team, and agree in writing what the change or new program must do.
- Program and test offline. Logic, screens and drive settings are prepared and checked before site work, to keep downtime short.
- Commission on site. We test every input, output, interlock and alarm with your team, then run the machine under real load.
- Hand over properly. You receive the final, commented program, HMI project, drive parameter files, I/O list and drawings, plus training for your technicians.
Practical tips from our engineers
Integrate, don't duplicate
Bringing PLC data into the existing Experion system is usually cheaper and clearer than adding a separate SCADA.
Review alarms
An alarm review often removes hundreds of nuisance alarms and makes real problems visible.
