I am working with a customer who has an installed base of Honeywell but wants to migrate both his legacy Honeywell and his current non-LCN Honeywell to DeltaV. DeltaV Connect for Honeywell only talks to LCN so how do we connect to his later Ethernet based Experion system?
Hello Bruce,

I'm glad to hear that we have a common customer interested in modernizing from Honeywell TDC & Experion to DeltaV...that's great news! Would you please share the client name (privately please) and site location? I am involved with literally 100% of all DeltaV Connect™ Solution for Honeywell® Systems (DCH) proposals and final installations, so I'd like to know where we're matching up, and perhaps we can meet up to discuss this at EGUE (or earlier). If they are telling you that they are going to use DCH, then surely I already know who they are.
The short answer to your query is that we would use OPC to pass just the pertinent data required between the systems... the most basic connectivity option.
However, most typically, what we're finding are customers choosing to outright replace their Experion in combination with the step of installing DeltaV Connect™ Solution for Honeywell® Systems.
I hope this helps, and I'll hopefully speak with you (and meet you) soon!
Regards,
Chris King
