1. Product Introduction
1.1. Experion System
The Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) is Honeywell’s unified control system for process, business, and asset
management that helps industrial manufacturers increase their profitability and productivity. Experion takes customers well
beyond distributed control system (DCS) functionality with an advanced automation platform solution and innovative
application integration to improve business performance and peace of mind.
Refer to the “Experion CEE-based Controllers and I/O Overview” (document number EP03-290-rrr) for prerequisite
information. This document is written with the expectation that the reader understands the information and concepts covered
in the overview document.
1.2. Architecture Overview
The Experion 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 utilized in the
Experion architecture. Note that the architecture is highly scalable and not all nodes are necessary or required.

Version 1 Honeywell Proprietary 16 January 2020
1.3. Experion Simulation Overview
The Experion simulation capability supports two types of control simulation, one is where an engineer would like to do control
strategy checkout. In this case the engineer can configure a tail to mouth closed loop with a delay function to test a control
strategy or he can do open loop testing by simulating input values directly from the Control Builder interface.
The second type is the operator training simulation in combination with the Honeywell’s UNISIM product. In the latter case
the process is simulated by the UNISIM process simulator using actual output values from the controller simulation and
feeding new input values back to the control simulation. The complete system behaves as if it was controlling the real plant.
Release 511 Experion Simulation Specification® 16 January 2020 Version 1
1.4. Available simulation environments
The Experion system currently supports the following simulated control environments:
• SIM-C200 ; this is the simulation environment for the C200 controller
• SIM-C200E; this is the simulation environment for the C200E controller
• SIM-C300 ; this is the simulation environment for the C300 controller
• SIM-IOLIM; this is the simulation environment for the IOLIM module used to connect PMIO to the C200 controller
• SIM-ACE; this is the simulation environment for the Application Control Environment
• SIM-FFD; this is the simulation environment for the Series C Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM4, FIM8)
All simulation environments execute on a server grade PC platform, each platform supports multiple simulation
environments.
1.5. UNISIM compatibility
A simulation environment needs to support advanced simulation capabilities like controller freeze, step execution, unfreeze
and dynamic data save and restore to be fully usable in an operator training scenario. The table below shows the simulation
environments compatibility

2.1.1. Simulation Capacity Definitions
HFD – High Fidelity Deterministic Simulation
This Simulation Configuration is required when the Experion Simulation System is integrated with the UniSim Operator
Training System (OTS). When this configuration is required, the SIM-XXX Nodes loaded on the SCE (Simulation Control
Environment) Server are expected to execute “deterministically” in the same Guaranteed Execution Order (GEO) and with
SIM-Cxxx CEE average base cycle executing every 50ms, and SIM-ACE CEE average base cycle every 500ms. In this
case, the Server PC performance and the quantity of SIM-CEEs loaded are very important and must adhere to the formula
listed below.
SCSC – System Configuration and Strategy Checkout Simulation
This Simulation Configuration can be used when Experion Simulation is not integrated with UniSim, but is being used by
Project Engineers or Customers to configure, load, and debug control strategies on the Experion system prior to actual
Controller & I/O Hardware being available. When this configuration is selected, the SIM-XXX Nodes loaded on the SCE
Server are expected to execute in the same Guaranteed Execution Order (GEO), but NOT necessarily in the same
Execution Time Periods as they would behave in their Native environment. In this case, the Server PC performance and the
quantity of SIM-CEEs loaded are not as important.
Experion Simulation Specification, EP03-360-511 8
Version 1 Honeywell Proprietary 16 January 2020
2.1.2. Simulation Capacity Formulas
The capacity limits for the Simulation Control Environment (SCE) Server is variable based upon the selected Server PC (the
total number of processor cores) and the simulation type (HFD or SCSC) required and the mix of SIM-XXX nodes loaded on
the SCE server.
HFD – High Fidelity Deterministic Simulation
For HFD, the number of cores required on the simulation control environment (SCE) server is determined by the following
formula:
Cores Required = #SIM-ACEs + 0.4 x (#SIM-C300s + #SIM-C200s + #SIM-C200Es) + 0.1 x (#SIM-FFDs1 + #SIM-IOLIMs)
Notes:
1. Deterministic SIM-FFD integrated with UniSim is not supported.
The following example configurations would all require a 4 core machine:
• 10 SIM-C300s only
• 8 SIM-C200s and 8 SIM-IOLIMs
• 4 SIM-C200s, 4 SIM-C200Es and 8 SIM-IOLIMs
• 4 SIM-ACEs only
SCSC – System Configuration and Strategy Checkout Simulation
Capacity limits per SCE node for SCSC are not published or validated, and are generally described as “unlimited” within
certain overall server PC resource (CPU and memory) constraints, controller, FIM, and ACE limits per Experion server, and
overall CDA PPS performance per SCE. SIM-XXX nodes loaded in an SCSC configuration are automatically supported for
guaranteed execution order (GEO) because the CEE design always enforces ORDERINCEE and ORDERINCM, regardless
of the CPU and Memory resources available. However, the execution time period (base cycle) is not enforced, and as the
server CPU and memory become exhausted, all loaded SIM-CEEs will “slow down”. If there are “deterministic” requirements
for the Strategy Checkout, then the formula used above for HFD should be adhered to.

reserved when the FF Device is configured
on one of the FIM’s H1 Networks.
N/A 1600 3200
Maximum Number of Unique FF Block Types
per SIM-FIM
Note: Unique FF Block Types are defined as the
number of unique blocks across all devices
connected to a FIM. Each time a new unique device
is connected to the link, one unique block type may
be reserved for each unique block in that device.
For example, suppose device X, containing an AI
and a PID block, is connected to a FIM. This would
reserve two unique block types. Adding several
more of this device to the FIM would not require
additional unique block types. Suppose a different
device Y, containing an AO, is connected to the FIM.
This would reserve one unique block type.

Note: The maximum number of parameters in the
SIM-FIM cache defines the maximum number of

4. Glossary
Term or Acronym Description
ACE Application Control Environment. Experion controller node hosted on a server computer platform. The
ACE node is ideally suited for supervisory control solutions and integration with third party control
systems.
C200 A specific type of Honeywell Process Controller
C300 A specific type of Honeywell Process Controller based on the series C form factor
CDA Control Data Access is the Experion system communication infrastructure and data access interface
schema that provides application integration with Experion system objects.
ControlNet Real-time control-layer network.
DSA Distributed System Architecture
Experion Server The node (optionally redundant) at the heart of Experion. The servers encompasses a wide range of
subsystems including history collection, SCADA interfaces, alarm/event, etc.
FIM Foundation Fieldbus Interface Module
FTE Fault Tolerant Ethernet, the Experion control network
IOLIM IO Link Interface Module. Services and processes all communications between the Experion Controllers
and Process Manager IO (PMIO)
SCE Simulation Control Environment. An Experion node that hosts the simulated controller environments.
