TotalPlant Solution System
Basic System Architecture

Introduction
The latest Honeywell control system is called TotalPlant Solution (TPS) system.
This section acquaints you with the basic terms used to identify the equipment and the
communications networks (cables or fiber optics) that make up the TPS system.
Nodes
The stations and other communication and control devices on both the TPN and the
Universal Control Network (UCN) are referred to as nodes. Your GUS workstation is
a node.

Networks
The cables or fibers that are used to send data on are the physical part of the network;
the protocol or rules for transmitting or receiving data are different for each type of
network.
There are several network types that you will use to communicate with other parts of
the plant and to control and monitor the process.
• TotalPlant NetworkTPN
• Universal Control NetworkUCN
• Ethernet Network, a type of Local Area Network LAN
• Data HiwayTDC 2000 process network
Your Global User Station is connected to the TPN along with other TPS nodes.
Modules
The other TPS nodes are also called modules.
Figure 13 TPS Module—A physical system component that is connected directly
to the TotalPlant Network. These are a few basic modules:
• AM–Application Module
• HG – Hiway Gateway
• HM – History Module
• NG – Network Gateway
• NIM – Network Interface Module
• PLNM – Plant Network Module
• GUS — Global User Station
• US – Universal Station
• UxS – Universal StationX

Workstation and Personality
The Global User Station is a PC with an input/output board (LCNP). The LCNP
board connects to the TotalPlant Network (TPN). The workstation software must be
loaded to enable the PC to communicate with the TotalPlant Solution (TPS) system
devices. The personality files enable the PC to become a recognized device on the
TPN. The database files enable it to access the Honeywell designed displays and
custom configured displays for a specific part of the control system called an Area.

Touchscreen (optional equipment)
Description
A station can have a “touchscreen,” allowing you to select a target by touching

it.
There is a grid of light beams across the front of a touchscreen. Photo optic receivers
detect the light beams emitted from the light emitting diodes (LEDs) to form a grid.
Touching the screen breaks a set of beams and moves the cursor to the coordinates of
the broken beams.
Lifting your finger restores the beams and performs the “select” function at that
location. If the selection is on a “target,” the appropriate target action occurs.
Light Emmitting
Diodes
(LEDs)

Receivers
Practice - Touch Screen
Step Action
1 Touch the lower screen. Now move your finger back from the screen about an eighth of an inch
and move you finger across the screen.
The cursor should follow your finger.
NOTE: If the cursor does not follow your finger, your GUS does not have the Touch Screen
function, skip this practice and continue with the Module.
2 Practice moving the cursor with your finger or the eraser end of a pencil.
3 To select a screen target just pull your finger straight out of the light beams.
4 If you are using a Dual Screen Gus, the upper screen is NOT a touch screen. Use the trackball
and pads to move to and select targets on the display.
5 The art of using the touch screen is developed with practice.

Operator Assignment/Partition Sheet
Purpose
You have an Operator Assignment sheet that assigns a specific part of the training
system to you for the duration of the course.
The assignments ensure that you have process points and graphics that will not be
used by anyone except yourself for the duration of the course. The information on the
sheet tells you which
• Area,
• Graphic displays,
• Unit(s) assignment for your process points (tags), and
• Native Window displays are for your use.
Figure 11— Example of Operator 765 Assignment/Partition Sheet

Operator 765 Assignment/Partition Sheet
Course Map You have a Course Map in your materials. As you complete each module you
must sign that you have completed the materials and taken the Performance
Test. Your Course Manager must also sign off each Module.
Area 1 North 1—North Manufacturing
Unit T1—HPM41 P765
Groups 1-20
Group numbers are shown as 1 [271]. Use the number that is on your
assignment sheet (the other number is for another student).
Process Module Group 403
Points All of your points end with 765. When you see ### use your Operator number to
make sure you have your assigned points or displays.
Performance Test Each module has a Performance test at the end. The purpose of the test is to
ensure that you have mastered the skills that are associated with the module.
Ask your course manager to observe you while you take the test.
You may practice the test before taking it.

Area, Unit, and Point Definition
Definition
The TPS system is designed to control three different sections
• an Area,
• a Unit, and
• a point or points in a process.
Area
A process Area is a portion of the process plant, typically operated by one operator at
a GUS Station. A GUS Station is your view to the process.
Examples of process Areas are
• the polymer Area of a chemical plant,
• the antibiotic Area of a pharmaceutical plant,
• the catalytic cracking Area of a refinery,
• the utilities Area of a manufacturing complex,
• the wet end Area of a paper mill.
Units
Units are used to divide points for alarm and message purposes and to define the
limits of an operator’s control responsibility. If the Unit is not assigned to the area
database in your station, then you can only look at the points in the Unit.
Typically, a Unit would include all of the points associated with one piece of
equipment in an operating Area. Examples of process Units are
• A reactor Unit in a polymer Area of a chemical plant
• A fermenter Unit in an antibiotic Area of a pharmaceutical plant
• A regenerator Unit in a catalytic cracking Area of a refinery
• One boiler in a utilities Area of a manufacturing complex
• The dry end Unit of a paper machine Area in a paper mill

Points
A point is all of the information about any one particular process related item.
Several examples of points, are an analog controller, an analog indicator, and a digital
point.
Point ID
The “instrument” name of the point is called its Point ID. For example, FIC21741 is
the Point ID of a flow controller. The terms Point ID, Point Name, Tag Name, and
Point Tag Name can be used interchangeably.
Examples
Each Point is assigned to a Unit, and the Unit is either assigned or not assigned to the
station’s Area.
The following figure shows an example of a TPS system with seven GUS Stations,
three Areas, and five Units, and it shows the relationship between Points in a Unit,
Units in an Area, and an Area in a GUS Station.
Refer to the following figure as you read these explanations:
1. The points for the towers are defined in Units T1, T2, and T3.
The points for the boilers are defined in Units B1 and B2.
2. Units T1, T2, and T3 are assigned to AREA 1— REFINERY.
3. No units are assigned to AREA 3 —PM (but could be at any time, if
necessary).
4. Units B1 and B2 are assigned to Area 2 – Power_H.
5. AREA 1— REFINERY is loaded into GUS stations 1, 2, and 3 in the
refinery.
6. AREA 3 —PM is loaded into GUS Station 7 in the plant manager’s office.
AREA 2—POWER_H is loaded into GUS Stations 5 and 6 in the
powerhouse and into GUS Station 4 in the refinery.
The refinery operators can see all of the points, and can control the towers
(Units T1, T2, T3) and the boilers (Units B1, B2—through GUS #4 only).
The plant manager can see all of the points (but can do no control).
The power house operators can see all of the points, and can control the boilers
(Units B1 and B2).

Work Space Management
SafeView Window
Definition
SafeView is the name of the configured window that you use to display your GUS
Graphic displays.
In a normal Window’s environment many displays can be opened on your screen at
the same time. It is possible to hide or bury a display under or behind other open
displays. SafeView prevents displays from being hidden from view.
