We have the following dilemma with our Honeywell's Total Plant Solution (TPS) system...
The system was commissioned in Year 2000. It's working pefectly well till date. No issues... Now the problem is that the GUS stations have begun to show failures. We have in all four GUS stations... Two of them have already failed. Talked to Honeywell and they say that GUS is no longer supported since Dell has stopped making GX1 Optiplex Model PCs. Honeywell's TPS software runs ONLY on Dell GX1 Optiplex Machines. Upgraded Dell Machines are no longer compatible with Honeywell's TPS.
Honeywell's suggestion is to go for a EST/ESVT replacement for the two GUS stations which are currently down... The price?? A whooping 4.5 Million Indian Rupees (Roughly a USD 100,000)... A few thousands worth of PC can lead to such a crushing outcome???
Any suggestions or solutions that may be cheaper and compatible are welcome...
au revoir
