Honeywell Experion LX Client Guide

Points
This section describes how to determine your point requirements.
Tip:
If you want to use a user-defined data format, you must define the format on the
server. See the section titled "About user-defined data formats" in the Station
Configuration Guide for more information.
Issue Comments
Point names Develop a consistent naming strategy for your points.
Point types
If you have controllers other than Process Controllers, you need to understand
the purpose and capabilities of Experion’s inbuilt point types (called standard
points).
System
interfaces
Experion includes a number of high-level interfaces—called system
interfaces—that allow it to exchange data with other applications or subsystems
without the need for separately defining points.
Algorithms Determine whether you need to use any algorithms.
Scripts
Determine whether you can use server scripts to perform specialized tasks on
points.
History
collection
Determine your history collection requirements.
Groups Determine which points need to be grouped and displayed together.
Trends Determine which point parameters need to be displayed in a graphical manner.
Scanning
strategy
Develop an appropriate scanning strategy. (Scanning is the process by which
the server reads from/writes to memory locations in controllers other than
Process Controllers.)
Number of
points
Estimate the number of points you require—the number determines your
licensing requirements.
Multipleservers
If you have multiple servers, review information on point data in a DSA
system.
Point naming conventions
All points within your system have a tag name (also called a point ID or point name) and
