I have inherited an existing Honeywell Experion DCS with TDC2000 (3000?) hardware based on MFC controllers. I am trying to understand the correlation between the physical address and the addresses I can see in Quick Builder?
My background is with PCS7, DeltaV and I am trying to build an accurate I/O list for a system I have inherited. Honeywell TDC doesn't seem to relate to anything I am familiar with.
I can see physically where everything is connecting in the panel and I can, after some digging around, identify tags (points) in Experion. What I cannot understand is how these relate to each other.
Nowhere in the Quick Builder configuration can I see where tags or devices are mapped to physical addresses but this must be happening somewhere. E.g. Analogue tags always seem to be associated with "slots" 23 and 24 however my physical cards are normally in slots 17/18. I can't see where this is mapped or if the PLC register is automatically assigned based on the card location? One of my "Boxes" has two bases and the analogue cards are all within the second base?
