The SCM states of Aborting, Stopping, Stopped, Holding, and Held are collectively referred to as the abnormal states.

Absolute Origin

Origin parameter that is available at the starting point of the parameter projection chain.

Absolute Origin Block

Block on which the absolute origin parameter is defined.

AC

Alternating Current

Access Capability

An identifiable Control Builder construct which represents a set of criteria. The criteria must be met in order to grant access. An access capability is associated with each Control Builder security element. For example, the construct could indicate that access only will be granted if the user is a member of a particular group AND has access to a particular set of equipment.

Access Card

An identity card issued to a site personnel to allow access to certain doors at certain times, and to deny access otherwise.

Access Control

The protection against unauthorized access of targets by principles.

Access Level

When an access level is assigned to a card, it defines when and where the card can be granted access. An access level consist of zones with corresponding time periods.

A level of security in Control Builder. Control Builder provides eight (8) levels of security access.

1. Terms and Definitions 1.1. A

R110 Experion LX Dictionary 25 February 2014 Honeywell

Accumulator Point

A type of standard point used to represent counters. Information contained in the accumulator point can include: the raw value, a process value, a rollover value, a scale factor, and a meter factor.

ACL

Access Control List

Acronym

An acronym is a text string that is used to represent a state or value of a point in a display. From an operator's point of view, it is much easier to understand the significance of an acronym such as "Stopped", compared to an abstract value such as "0".

Action Algorithm

An algorithm that initiates an action-such as requesting a report-when the PV of the point to which it is attached changes value. Contrast with PV algorithm.

Active Connector

Administrative Privileges

The computer rights and privileges that a person has with computer Administrator password security.

Advanced Alarm Management

A name given to either of two optional alarm management systems, "Three Stage Alarm Management" and "Structured Response Management". In both systems, an alarm instruction display appears when an operator acknowledges an alarm. Operators must carry out the instructions and enter a description of their actions in an alarm response display.

Alarm Line

Station's Alarm Line generally displays the most recently unacknowledged alarm. (The Alarm Line may be hidden on your system, or it may be configured to operate in a special manner.)

Alarm Priority

One of four levels of severity specified for the alarm. The alarm priorities from least to most severe are:

• Journal

• Low

• High

• Urgent

Alarm Shelving

Alarm Shelving is typically used by operators to hide 'nuisance' alarms that are distracting them from their work. It temporarily removes that alarm from the normal alarm list and can be viewed using the special 'shelved alarms' view.

1. Terms and Definitions 1.1. A

28 Experion LX Dictionary R110 Honeywell February 2014

Algorithm

A set of rules that enhance a point's functionality by operating on point data either before or after normal point processing. There are two types of point algorithms: PV algorithm and action algorithm.

A 32-word block that is assigned to each algorithm/point combination. It is used to store the algorithm's configuration details and run-time (working) values.

Alias Table

A matrix that associates alias names with the actual parameters the aliases may resolve at run-time. The Alias Table is the key component to the Common SCM function. It creates the foundation for dynamic indirection.

Floating Bias

A calculated component of the output bias which provides (1) a bumpless output following initialization of a secondary, and (2) a ramped return to the fixed operating bias.

An initializing secondary builds a request for the primary which contains an initialization value (INITVAL); and in order to provide a bumpless output, the primary must set its output to INITVAL. When the primary receives an initialization request, it sets the floating bias to the difference between calculated output minus operating fixed bias and INITVAL. Thereafter, the primary reduces the floating bias at a user-specified rate until it reaches zero. The floating bias is normally zero.

Global means that there is one-and-only-one owner of any particular data element across the entire automation system. This has advantages primarily in the area of engineering efficiency. Global data allows the Experion LX system to provide a unified build environment.

In the Experion LX system, the controller owns some data while other data is owned by a server-based database known as the System Repository. Each data element is owned by one-and-only-one of these entities. This provides robustness because all users throughout the Experion LX system, whether in the control layer or the supervisory layer, are dealing with the same value for that data at any given point in time.

Principle

An active entity, such as a person or process, that attempts to access a Control Builder target, Security measures control principles' access to targets. A Control Builder object may operate as both a principle and a target. For example, when a user attempts to launch Control Builder, the application is the target of the launch command operation. In this role as target, the application has security characteristics that determine which principles are capable of launching it. Once launched, the application may change its role to a principle and access other Control Builder objects.

Privilege

A system level pre-defined right. Privileges are typically associated with a user, not with an object. Privileges override security requirements (for example, a user who is permitted disk backup bypasses each file object security – that is, if a privilege exists, the access control to the objects/parameters is not bypassed (otherwise there would need to be an access control entry on each object for each privilege).

Sequential Control Module Builder

The SCM Builder is used to build a sequential control strategy consisting of SCM Blocks (Branches, Parallel Branches, Steps and Transitions), sequence flow connections and other user-defined objects.

Sequential Control Module Function Block

A container block within Control Builder that serves as an encapsulation of transition and step blocks for sequencing the equipment through a series of distinct states to accomplish a process task, such as heat, cool, agitate, charge, or discharge. The SCM may be used to perform a stand-alone sequencing operation or for batch control in presence of the Level-3 and Level-4 above.

Server

The computer on which the Experion LX database software and server utilities run.

Server Redundancy

Experion LX hardware configuration consisting of a primary server and a secondary server. The primary server is connected to all clients (such as Stations, Device Builder, Quick Builder) and all devices. The secondary server is not connected to any devices or clients, but receives database information from the primary server and keeps the databases in sync. A redundancy link ( LAN link) is maintained between servers and used to pass database updates from primary to secondary. Upon failover, the primary server is transferred either manually (through software utility or hardware switch) or automatically (when the primary fails) to the secondary server.

Shape

A shape is a special type of display object that can be used in numerous displays. Shapes can be used as "clip-art" or as shape sequences.

Shape Sequence

A shape sequence is a set of related shapes that are used in conjunction with shapelinks.

• Represent the status of a point (Each shape represents a particular status).

• Create an animation (Each shape is one "frame" in the animation).
