Control.com - Nerds in Control

I am the process engineer for a small plant that has an old TDC-3000 DCS (ie: no one left who knows how to program them). I have a program (CL file) that is used daily that I need to change a pressure setpoint in. I know how to edit and compile the program from the command module, but I don't know how to get the system to actually use the new file. What do I need to do?

More information is needed before your question can be answered. What Honeywell Software version are you using? Is the CL program being run on an Application Module (AM) or on a Process Manager (PM, APM or HPM)? Do you have the Honeywell TDC-3000 Bookset available for the module you are using for the CL?

Once I have these answers, I can get you through your problem. Feel free to contact me off list via email kb5le at softdisk.com

I have some procedures that may be useful to you which will explain in detail what you need to do - please email me at tim.haywood@khalda-eg.com and I can send them to you.

Dear Sir,

I am working on Honywell TPS and i am in real need of Honeywell Procedures. Please send me what ever procedures you have so that i can quickly come online while working on Honeywell TPS. Please send me on

1. The CL you wish to change, must have a process module point, associated. Where does this point reside, xPM or AM?

2. You must identify the correct and most genuine source file for that point. As i have seen at many instances, you may come across several CL files (all of different time stamps in different directories, making it very difficult to identify, which one was compiled and running?)

3. There are seperate procedures to load the object file for a xPM or an AM.

Please share more details. I can help on this.

How can i check which point is linked with which CL? i am using AM. Is there any utility which can do this job or i ll have to go through all files manually?

At our site, we use a tool called DOC3000 which we run once per week and highlights these associations. You might be able to use the Find Names utility (command "FN" on command line). I haven't used FN much myself but maybe that can help direct you to the documentation to use the command.

If its an AM CL block, it could be used on multiple tags so it could take some hunting.

hope it helps

I am not sure if the original request is solved but I have an HPM Application Builder software with me. Can you send me your CLs by mail to deepakkandpal@yahoo.com?
