EXCEL 5000r Open Systems -
where no control system is an island
Imagine all of your building's systems working together
efficiently and economically, today, tomorrow, ten years from
[Image] now...no matter what technologies lie ahead.
Now you're thinking Honeywell. Specifically, Honeywell's EXCEL
5000 building management system.
You talked -- we listened
You need a level of flexibility in your building control systems
that can only be achieved by the smooth connection and interaction
of all of your building's control systems, regardless of
manufacturer.
Honeywell is committed to supporting your requirements by
shifting away from separate systems with different protocols, and
by driving standardization within the building control industry.
So committed, in fact, that Honeywell has teamed up with the
Echelon Corporation, developer of the industry's most
forward-looking and open communications protocol, LonWorksr.
Echelon developed LonWorks as a standard, flexible control
network for a variety of industries to use in developing their
products. Their dream was a common data highway that allows
interoperability between a multitude of related and unrelated
products.
Today, hundreds of manufacturers world-wide are developing
products around Echelon's LonWorks technology, fulfilling that
dream. In the building control industry, Honeywell is leading the
development by investing heavily in LonWorks technology, and by
taking a leading role on the Industrial Council for LonMarkT
Interoperability Association -- a group of users and developers
dedicated to creating complete communication between various
LonWorks products.
With great pride, Honeywell recently introduced the Excel 10 VAV
controller, the newest member of the EXCEL 5000 system, and the
first to use LonWorks technology.
Greater flexibility than you thought was possible
Honeywell's EXCEL 5000 system gives you the flexible facility
supervision you need today, backed by a commitment to support the
industry-standard.
When your building's subsystems are joined together by a
Honeywell EXCEL 5000 system, you'll be assured of:
* Interoperability among products from different manufacturers
* Low-cost installation
* Dramatically reduced reconfiguration costs
* Easy expansion
* More efficient facility management with lower energy costs
* Reduced maintenance and training costs
* Elimination of redundant components
* A single window to your facility's operations
Building-wide system supervision from a single operator interface
Honeywell's EXCEL 5000 system enables information from a number of
building systems to flow freely throughout your building. You'll
receive the information in a consistent manner, so you can monitor
such things as critical transactions, energy usage, comfort
levels, and maintenance schedules in your building quickly and
control them easily.
Better system quality at lower first costs
In many cases, the cost of an EXCEL 5000 open system may be les
than the cost of redundant sensors and wiring of the critical
subsystem points into your building management system. In all
cases, the level and quality of information you receive with an
open system is much higher than with the traditional, hard-wired
approach.

Lower training and operating costs
With an EXCEL 5000 open system, information from each subsystem is
displayed in the same manner, so you have only one primary operator
interface on which to train your employees -- not one interface each for
your fire alarm, access control, boiler, chiller, computer room,
environmental control, fume hood, security, lighting control, and motor
control center.
And with many subsystems in a single building, the savings multiply with
employee turnover.
Energy savings from coordinated control strategies
As your building's subsystems exchange information, you optimize energy
costs. And when you combine quick, easy access to maximum system
information with Honeywell's 100-plus years of control applications
experience, you'll enjoy the greatest energy savings possible.
Examples of energy-saving control strategies include coordinating the
scheduling or load shedding of diverse pieces of mechanical equipment, and
trending subsystem information to analyze energy usage.
Honeywell's commitment to open communications
Our strategy is simple. By incorporating LonWorks technology into the
EXCEL 5000 system, we are developing products that:
* Allow other manufacturers' susbsystems to communicate with our
controllers and operator workstations
* Allow our controllers and operator workstations to communicate with
"higher order" or other manufacturers' computing environments
We also make a firm commitment to all building owners that as new major
industry communications standards emerge in the future, Honeywell's
building control systems will evolve with them.
Open system -- A system whose components rely on industry-standard
technologies and their conformance with industry-accepted standards.

Step up to openness
Honeywell is your committed partner in developing truly open systems --
control interfaces that extend the reach of your Honeywell building
controls outward into the systems of other manufacturers.
You can trust Honeywell to use the major, industry-accepted
communications standards that lie ahead. In addition to the
LonWorks-based Excel 10, we have developed the following open systems
products for customers who want a state-of-the-art Honeywell open building
management system:
Excel 5000 OpenLINK:
* Allows integration of another manufacturer's HVAC equipment,
laboratory equipment, and electrical power monitoring equipment into
a Honeywell Excel Building Supervisor system
* Maps points from the other system into the Honeywell system in a way
that provides full use of the Honeywell Excel Building Supervisor
workstations and building management system functions
Excel PlusT OpenLINK:
* Allows integration of another manufacturer's HVAC equipment,
laboratory equipment, and electrical power monitoring equipment into
Honeywell DeltaNet Graphic Central and Excel Building
Supervisor-integrated systems
* Maps points from the other system into the Honeywell system in a way
that provides full use of the Honeywell Graphic workstations and
building management system functions
ExcelT Link-Industrial:
* Allows integration of another manufacturer's PLC (programmable logic
control) equipment, specialty control and monitoring equipment,
electrical power monitoring equipment, and industrial instrumentation
into Honeywell DeltaNet Graphic Central and Excel Building
Supervisor-integrated systems
* Maps points from the other system into the Honeywell system in a way
that provides full use of the Honeywell Graphic workstations and
building management system functions
EXCEL 5000 EI-Connect:
* Allows others to create a host interface to the EXCEL 5000 system
* Supports both read and write functionality and RS232 communications;
other functions depend on the capabilities and needs of the host
system
Excel PlusT Connect:
