ELCN Guiding Architectural Principles

• All existing “Customer-created TDC data objects” (checkpoints, button configuration files,

display objects, CL/AM objects, etc) run without recompile, rebuild, or reconstruction

• For any given “Customer-created TDC data object” source file, there will be only one

compiled object file

• Customer experience on similar node types of differing architectures will be the same

• All data on the wire will be in same format, supporting hybrid Coax LCN and ELCN topology

communications

• All data on mass storage will be in same format, supporting consistent data internally and

external to ELCN

11

Experion LCN Capacity

• Capacity of LCN Personality Remains Unchanged- Retain Underlying Execution Timing

- Retain Code

- ELCN has Same Capacity Limitations

• Fixes for Overloaded LCN- EHPM Direct Connection

▪ Convert to HMIWeb Displays

- Move TPN History to Experion History and remove HM used for History

- Move from E-APP OPC collection to ESV-T

- Reduce # of Op Stations (Max 20 ES-T), ▪ Can Still Increase Monitor Area

- C300 direct connect

• ELCN Bridge- ELCN has 8 times the network capacity than what it needs in a fully loaded 96

node system

- Bridging Function doesn’t take much CPU capacity (60% CPU free)

• ELCN Uses Multi-Cast- Must follow FTE Best Practices

- LCN Traffic unchanged when node switched to ELCN

- Isolated to ELCN and LCN Nodes using IGMP snooping

*Internet Group Management Protocol

LCN Load Reduction Using EHPM Experion Integration13

• Convert to HMIWeb Displays

• Reduce # of Op Stations (Max

20 ES-T),

• Can Still Increase Monitor

Area

• Move TPN History to Experion

History and remove HM used for

History

• Move from E-APP OPC

collection to ESV-T

• C300 direct connect

OPM (On Process Migration)

• Same behavior

- Must be Redundant Nodes

- Same Hardware platform

▪ Classic NIM/HG/AM-R/EPLCG to Classic NIM/HG/AM-R/EPLCG

▪ ELCN ENIM/EHB/AM-R/EPLCG to ELCN ENIM/EHB/AM-R/EPLCG

• On Process between different hardware platform

- ESVT pre-501 to ESVT post-R501

- Classic NIM to ENB to Classic ENIM to ELCN ENIM (Physical or Virtual)

- Classic HG to EHB (junction gateway) to EHB simple gateway to ELCN EHB simple gateway

(Physical or Virtual)

• No OPM Currently Planned between ELCN Virtual to and from ELCN Physical

MAU Connection (ELCN Bridge Only)

• UEA based ELCN Bridge requires LCN connection, this is done using new MAU Cables

• New smaller MAU Cables are introduced for UEA based ELCN Bridge

- MAU ports are smaller to accommodate connector in back of UEA

▪ Does not need special mounting location for MAU

- One MAU Cable per LCN cable connection

▪ Failure of one MAU Cable will not affect ELCN Bridge connection

24

Old MAU connection

New MAU Cable with smaller connectors

Challenges in Converting EPLCG from LCN to ELCN (Cont.)

• There are 6 different configurations of PLC attachment associated with PLCG/EPLCG

- The two protocols required some separate handling (especially for LCN module redundancy)

- Redundancy also added variety to the configuration of the EPLCG

- The result is that customers could have any one or a combination of up to 6 configuration types

Migration Planning

• Determine the desired location for the ELCN Bridge UEA modules

• Locate ELCN Bridge Nodes and Appliance nodes so that the front-panel displays are readable

• Determine the sequence of the nodes which are to be migrated

- Controller Level (Level 1) migration path

- Level 2 TPS Nodes migration path

• Identify the nodes that need to be shut down and removed/relocated prior to performing the disassembly procedure

- Follow appropriate procedures to shut down the applicable nodes before proceeding with any disassembly

• Very Important:

- For ELCN:

▪ Virtualization planning

▪ FTE Switch Configuration planning
