Honeywell Inspection Rounds (HIR)

The Rounds Suspension feature in Honeywell Inspection Rounds is designed to maintain operational integrity and regulatory compliance during periods when inspection activities cannot be performed. Here's a breakdown of its key uses:

Primary Use of Rounds Suspension

  1. Operational Flexibility
    It allows plant managers or system administrators to temporarily pause inspection schedules without deleting or modifying them. This is especially useful during:
    • Plant Turnaround
    • Equipment Overhauls
    • Emergency shutdowns
    • Environmental or safety hazards
  2. Audit and Traceability
    Suspension events are logged with metadata such as:
    • Timestamp of suspension and reactivation
    • Reason for suspension
    • User who initiated the action
    • Affected assets or areas

In scenarios where field operations across the plant or enterprise are temporarily halted due to scheduled or unscheduled maintenance, and operators are unable to execute their assigned rounds, the 'Rounds Suspension' functionality within Honeywell Inspection Rounds can be enabled to prevent compliance issues.

This Newsletter provides step-by-step instructions about how to suspend Rounds in the Honeywell Inspection Rounds portal.

Configuring Suspension in Planning Board

You need explicit permission to perform these actions (Planning Board Admin). Contact the Honeywell support engineer to obtain the required user role.

There are two options to Suspend Rounds:

  • Suspend all Rounds that are scheduled for a specific level
  • Suspend only those Rounds that are based on a particular round template

Suspend all rounds for a level

Perform the following steps to suspend all Rounds that are scheduled for a level:

  1. Navigate to the Planning Board.
  2. Choose [icon: toolbar] in the toolbar below the navigation bar. The Scheduled suspensions dialog opens.
  3. Select the level for which you want to suspend all Rounds from the tree on the left.
  4. If you want to suspend all Rounds for a specific level, select the relevant level from the tree on the left.
  5. Choose [+] in the upper right corner of the Suspensions on hierarchy level section.
  6. Enter the type of the round suspension in the Type field.
  7. Enter a description for the round suspension in the Description field.
  8. Enter a start time and start date for the round suspension in the Start from fields.
  9. Enter an end time and end date for the round suspension in the End on fields. When the end time and end date is reached, the rounds are not suspended anymore.
  10. Choose Save.

A notification indicates whether the round suspension is successfully saved.

  1. Close the notification by clicking outside the notification. You see the new round suspension in the Suspensions on hierarchy level section.
  2. Close the Scheduled suspensions dialog.
  3. Refresh your browser window to display your changes.

Now, the suspended Rounds are displayed with the Suspended status tag in the Round Status column of the rounds table. The suspended Rounds are grayed out on the Schedule table.

Suspend all Rounds based on a particular Round template

Perform the following steps to suspend all Rounds that are based on a particular Round template:

  1. Navigate to Planning Board. You can see the round templates on the rounds table. The Round templates are displayed with the Template status tag in the Round Status column.
  2. Right-click the relevant round template and choose the schedule from the context menu. The Scheduling dialog opens.
  3. Choose [icon: plus] in the upper right corner of the Scheduled suspensions section. The Configure suspension dialog opens
  4. Enter the type of the round suspension in the Type field.
  5. Enter a description for the round suspension in the Description field.
  6. Enter a start time and start date for the round suspension in the Start from fields.
  7. Enter an end time and end date for the round suspension in the End on fields. When the end time and end date is reached, the rounds are not suspended anymore.
  8. Choose Save. A notification indicates whether the round suspension is successfully saved.
  9. Close the notification by clicking outside the notification. You see the new round suspension in the Scheduled suspensions section.
  10. Close the Scheduling dialog.
  11. Refresh your browser window to display your changes.

Now, the suspended Rounds are displayed with the Suspended status tag in the Round Status column of the rounds table. The suspended Rounds are grayed out on the Schedule table.

Once a round is suspended, it becomes inaccessible to workers until the suspension period expires. You can continue with the following actions:

  • Suspend other Rounds
  • Edit this Round suspension or other already active round suspensions
  • Delete already active round suspensions.

Honeywell Blending and Movement

Supported Releases

Release FULL SUPPORT / CURRENT (Start date) Phased-Out
HBM R530.1 Jan 2024 Jan 2030
FBM R520.1 Aug 2021 Aug 2027
PBM R510.1 Sep 2019 Sep 2025

Releases Approaching Phased Out Date

PBM R510.x will be phased out in September 2025.

Phased-Out: For Standalone Software Product releases which have been Phased-Out, HPS intends to make commercially reasonable efforts to provide support as, and if, available consisting of technical assistance for product use, lost/damaged software media replacement and reference materials download. "Phased-out" Support applies to releases older than R-2.

  1. Limited TAC support will be available.
  2. Honeywell may not always be able to enter into a contract for Phased-out releases due to technology or resource considerations. Any contract would exclude PAR fixes.
  3. For all PARs, "commercially reasonable effort support" will be provided, typically including answering questions and offering advice, but problem fixes will require upgrading to a release in the "Current" support phase.
  4. Fixes developed for later releases generally will not be ported back to Phased-out releases.
  5. Product documentation updates will not be provided.

Creating an Order for a Movement that has Already Started (Log Started)

The following workflow is used to create an order for a movement operation that is already started and is currently "active" or flowing. This technique will create the Open Logs for the movement, with the appropriate start time. MM's historian is used to capture the available log data at the time the start event occurred.

  1. Create an order as usual.
  2. In the Order Detail - Task Definition tab, set the Log Time for Task Start in the Work Item Conditions to the time (in the past) that the movement started.
  3. Update the order. Correct any errors found if needed. (Note: Order update validation will ensure that the Log Time for Task Start is earlier than the current date and time.) In the Work Item Conditions, the Task Start Condition is set to Date_Time.
  4. Release the work item to the task handling processes.
  5. The task and sequences are created as usual. The task start condition is set to the specified Log Time for Task Start (in the past). The Already Flowing option is automatically selected for each sequence in the task.
  6. Once path selection, path approval and sequence lineup has been performed, the sequences are started automatically. Note that because the sequences are marked as already flowing, the path selection process is simplified. (A subset of the normal path selection checks is performed.)
  7. A Task Open Log is created for the task and a Component Open Log is created for each sequence.

The data available from the historian at the configured Log Time for Task Start time is used as the source of the log data. For the data collected from the real-time system (i.e. from RTDR), the values displayed will be those at the time that the snapshot is taken (not the log started time). For the Component Open Logs, the AlreadyFlowing event attribute will show True, to indicate that this is a delayed log for an already flowing movement.

Order History Notes:

In the Order History display, the TaskOpenLog and ComponentOpenLog timestamps that appear in the Logged Information column header show the date and time that the log was generated. They are not the start time for the movement (that occurred in the past). The start time that was configured as the Log Time for Task Start for the work item, appears as the StartTime and EndTime entries for the Open Logs instead.

The Scheduled Start dates and times for the order, work item and end points in the Planning Information table are set to the configured Log Time for Task Start date and time (in the past). If a Task Stop condition has not been configured for the work item in the Order Detail, then the Scheduled End date and times are set to the date and time that the order was created. (This Scheduled End behavior is normal. It has not been changed.).

  1. Control the movement operation using the task handling displays as usual. The remaining event logging operations will occur as usual.
  2. If a new end point is added after the work item was released, the new end point is treated as a normal end point/sequence addition. The new sequence is not assigned the Log Time for Task Start. (This makes it possible to add new sequences in the normal way. However, if you set up the work item incorrectly (prior to releasing it for the first time), then you cannot go back and correct the logs by adding or removing end points.)
  3. When the movement is finished, complete the task and close the order as usual.

ATTENTION: If you need to create multiple orders that started in the past, they must be entered in chronological order (with the order that started earliest entered first, and so on). This is necessary to ensure that end point sharing and volume information is determined correctly.

Creating an Order for a Movement that Started and Stopped in the Past (Log Completed)

The following workflow is used to create an order for a movement operation that started and stopped in the past. This technique will create the Open and Complete Logs for the movement with the appropriate start and stop times. MM's historian is used to capture the available log data at the time the start and stop events occurred.

  1. Create an order as usual.
  2. In the Order Detail - Task Definition tab, set the Log Time for Task Start and the Log Time for Task Stop in the Work Item Conditions, to the times that the movement started and stopped.
  3. Update the order. Correct any errors found if needed. Order update validation will check the following:
    • The Log Time for Task Start and for Task Stop must be earlier than the current date and time.
    • If a Log Time for Task Stop has been entered, then a Log Time for Task Start must also be entered.
    • The Log Time for Task Start must be earlier that the Log Time for Task Stop.
  4. In the Work Item Conditions, the Task Start Condition is set to Date_Time and the Task Stop Condition remains unchanged.
  5. Release the work item.
  6. An Open Log and a Complete Log are created for the movement. Component Open Logs and Component Complete Logs are created for each end point. The Log Times for Task Start and Task Stop set in the Order Detail are used as the Start and End Times for the logs.

The data available from the historian at the configured Log Time for Task Start and Task Stop times is used as the source of the log data. The status of the order, work item and end points is set to InReconciliation.

Notes:

A task and sequences are not created when the work item is released. The work item is never handed over to the task handling processes.

Only data that can be collected from the historian is added to the logs. (Data that would normally be collected from the real-time system (i.e. from RTDR) will not be added to the Open or Completed Logs.) Real-time data cannot be displayed in this case. If this data is needed, then it must be historized.

As Log Started orders, the Open or Completed Log timestamps that appear in the Logged Information column header in the Order History display, show the date and time that the log was generated. They are not the start or stop time for the movement (that occurred in the past).

The Scheduled Start and Scheduled End dates and times for the order, work item and end points in the Planning Information table are set to the configured Log Time, Task Start and Task Stop dates and times (in the past). The only exception is the Scheduled End date and time for the order. As always this shows the date and time that the order was created.

  1. Close the order as usual.

ATTENTION: If you need to create multiple orders that started and stopped in the past, they must be entered in chronological order (with the order that started earliest entered first, and so on). This is necessary to ensure that end point sharing and volume information is determined correctly.

Honeywell Workforce Competency

SMTP Support Added Alongside SendGrid

Honeywell Connected Workforce Competency is a cloud-deployed, simulation-based, and scalable solution designed to deliver comprehensive process training for operations personnel. It enables trainees to gain both knowledge and hands-on experience in executing, analyzing, and making decisions--anytime, anywhere, with expert mentoring.

With the release of version R1.0.3, a key enhancement has been introduced to improve email communication flexibility within the platform.

What's New in Release R1.0.3?

The application now supports SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) in addition to SendGrid for email transmission. This update gives customers the flexibility to choose their preferred email service provider or even configure their own SMTP server.

Understanding SMTP and SendGrid:

  • SMTP is the core protocol used for sending emails across the internet. It defines how messages are transmitted between mail servers.
  • SendGrid is a cloud-based email delivery service that uses SMTP under the hood but also provides advanced features such as analytics, templates, and delivery optimization.

Why Add SMTP Support?

Supporting SMTP alongside SendGrid offers several benefits:

  • Cost Efficiency: Customers can deploy their own SMTP Exchange servers, avoiding licensing fees from third-party providers.
  • Greater Control: Self-hosted SMTP servers allow for more granular control over email delivery, security, and compliance.
  • Flexibility: Customers are no longer tied to a single provider.

Configuration Requirements

To enable SMTP support, customers must:

  1. Deploy an SMTP Exchange Server.
  2. Configure the SMTP server's IP address in the application settings.
  3. Ensure the SMTP port is open on the firewall to allow email traffic.
  4. Set the feature flag in the environment variables during deployment to activate SMTP support.

Note: SMTP configuration is handled during tenant creation by Honeywell. Users will not see an option to select SMTP within the application UI.

Is there any impact on the existing Cloud System?

There is no change to the default configuration. SendGrid remains the default email service provider in the application. This update simply introduces SMTP as an additional option, giving customers who which to install on their own private cloud the freedom to configure their own email infrastructure if desired.

Conclusion

This enhancement in R1.0.3 empowers customers with more flexibility and control over their email delivery systems. Whether continuing with SendGrid or transitioning to a custom SMTP setup, the application now supports both options seamlessly ensuring reliable communication tailored to each organization's needs.

UniSim® Design Suite

UniSim Design – Electrolyzer Capability

This article describes electrolyzer module features and its usability in UniSim Design.

The electrolyzer is an apparatus that produces hydrogen through a chemical process (electrolysis) capable of separating the hydrogen and oxygen molecules of which water is composed using electricity.

In contrast to all other methods of hydrogen production, the electrolyzer is the only commercially available technology that can produce high-purity hydrogen without the involvement of hydrocarbon feed or carbon emissions.

Typically, an electrolysis system consists of a water container containing an electrolyte and two electrodes: a cathode (negative pole) and an anode (positive pole). A chemical reaction occurs on both sides of the electrolyte by directing an electric current to both electrodes. Hydrogen is released on the cathode side and oxygen on the anode side.

[Diagram: Electrolysis of water showing H2 output from cathode and O2 output from anode, with DC supply in between.]

Types of Electrolyzers

UniSim Design supports modeling of the two best-known electrolyzers for hydrogen, the Alkaline Electrolyzer (AEL) and the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) Electrolyzer

The Alkaline Electrolyzer (AEL)

A alkaline electrolyzer uses liquid electrolyte solution and water. The water in this electrolyte is split into hydrogen and hydroxide ions at the cathode. These ions are then brought into contact with a membrane, after which they are oxidized to water and oxygen at the anode.

Chemical Reactions:

Cathode: 2 H2O + 2e- → H2 + 2 OH-
Anode: 2 OH- → ½ O2 + 2e- + H2O
Total reaction: H2O → H2 + ½ O2

UniSim Design supports only NaOH and KOH as electrolytes for AEL.

The Proton Exchange Membrane Electrolyzer (PEM)

A PEM electrolyzer uses a polymer membrane that allows only hydrogen ions to pass through. The water is split into oxygen, hydrogen ions and two electrons at the anode. The hydrogen ions and the two electrons then pass through the membrane and are converted to hydrogen at the cathode.

Chemical Reactions:

Anode: H2O → H2 + ½ O2 + 2e-
Cathode: 2H+ + 2e- → H2

PEM electrolyzers are the most popular because they produce high-purity hydrogen. They are best suited to match the variability of renewable energies and are compact. On the other hand, they are somewhat more expensive because they use precious metals as catalysts.

How to configure an Electrolyzer in UniSim Design?

UniSim Design supports modeling of AEL and PEM Electrolyzers in both steady state and dynamics.

To add an electrolyzer, open the Object Palette and select the Electrochemical Reactors sub-palette:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite Object Palette showing 'Electrochemical Reactors' sub-palette selected.]

The required inputs are similar for both types of electrolyzer.

Design tab

The Connections page is used to configure the anode and cathode side input and output streams along with energy streams:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'Alkaline Electrolyzer' - Design tab, Connections page, showing Anode Inlet, Anode Outlet, Cathode Inlet, Cathode Outlet, and Energy inputs.]

PEM:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'PEM ELX. (TRAIN-A)' - Design tab, Connections page, showing Anode Inlet, Anode Outlet, Cathode Inlet, Cathode Outlet, and Energy inputs.]

The Parameters page is used to specify the pressures at the anode and cathode.

Specifying the AEL Electrolyzer

For AEL electrolyzer, users can specify either current or anode / cathode current density or stack power. UniSim Design back calculates the other parameters based on user input.

  1. Specify input current - UniSim Design calculates anode and cathode current densities, stack temperature, operating voltage per cell, stack power and stack voltage.
  2. Specify either anode or cathode electrode current density - UniSim Design calculates current, another electrode current density which is not specified, stack temperature, operating voltage per cell, stack voltage and stack power.

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'Alkaline Electrolyzer' - Parameters tab, showing Pressure, Current, Stack Power, Number of Cells, and Stack Temperature inputs/outputs.]

Specifying the PEM Electrolyzer

For the PEM Electroyzer, the user must specify Faraday Efficiency and the Number of Cells present in the electrolyzer stack.

  1. Specify input current / current density and efficiency - UniSim Design calculates cell temperature, stack power and stack voltage.
  2. Specify stack power and efficiency - UniSim Design calculates input current / current density, stack voltage and cell temperature.

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'PEM ELX. (TRAIN-A)' - Parameters tab, showing Pressure, Number of Stacks, Current, Power, Number of Cells, and Temperature inputs/outputs.]

Rating tab

The Sizing page is used to specify electrode, membrane, current densities and tuning factors. The Electrode Data section is used to specify electrode and membrane geometry and properties respectively. The Water And Electrolyte Data section consists of the Water Activity, which is a calculated and the Electrolyte Resistivity which is a user specification. Limiting Current Density must be specified by the user whilst current densities and charge transfer coefficients are calculated. Electrode data, membrane data, electrolyte resistivity and limiting current density are given default values, but these can be changed by the user as required.

AEL:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'AEL-101' - Rating tab, Electrode Data section, showing Anode Surface Area, Cathode Surface Area, Anode Membrane Gap, Cathode Membrane Gap, Anode Thickness, Cathode Thickness, Water Activity, Electrolyte Resistivity, Limiting Current Density, Tuning Factors, and Solver Option.]

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'AEL-101' - Rating tab, Membrane section, showing Thickness, Surface Area, Porosity, Tortuosity, Wettability Factor, Hydrogen Crossover, Membrane Permeability, and Gas Diffusion Coefficient.]

PEM:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'PEM ELX. (TRAIN-A)' - Rating tab, Membrane section, showing Membrane Dry Mass, Membrane Thickness, Membrane Equivalent Area, Membrane Density, Water Transport details, Electrode details (Anode Charge Transfer Coeff, Cathode Charge Transfer Coeff, Anode Exchange Current Density, Cathode Exchange Current Density, Electrode Resistance, Current Density, Limiting Current Density), and Solver Options.]

The Degradation page allows users to estimate degradation of electrolyzer over a required period of operation. Rated Power, Rated Current and Degradation Percent Per Year are user specified variables. In Steady State, the user must also specify the Run Length (total number of hours the electrolyzer is in operation). Once the Enable Degradation check box is active, the degradation resistance is calculated based on the specified inputs. In Dynamics, the Run Length is taken directly from the simulation run time and cannot be specified by the user.

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'PEM ELX. (TRAIN-A)' - Degradation tab, showing Enable Degradation checkbox, Rated Power, Rated Current, Degradation [%/yr], Run Length Completed [Hours], and Degradation Results.]

The Performance page provides information on the calculated parameters, including overpotentials, cell Temperature and Heat Loss. Also, it gives Total Power, Total Hydrogen Produced and Total Heat Loss.

PEM:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'PEM ELX. (TRAIN-A)' - Performance tab, showing Cell details (Open Circuit Potential, Activation Overpotential, Ohmic Overpotential, Concentration Overpotential, Total Voltage Per Cell, Anode Activation Overpotential, Cathode Activation Overpotential) and Plant details (Total Power, Total Heat Loss, Total Hydrogen Produced).]

In addition, for the AEL electrolyzer, Effective H2 Diffusion, Hydrogen Cross Glow and Hydrogen to Oxygen % by moles will be shown.

AEL:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'AEL-101' - Performance tab, showing Cell details (Temperature, Heat Loss) and Plant Data (Total Power, Total Heat Loss, Total H2 Produced).]

Dynamics Tab

The Specs page is used to configure the dynamic specifications and parameters. The user can set the Dynamic Operating Mode as either Current Spec or Power Spec. Current spec means the current is the specified variable, whilst Power spec means heat flow is specified in the electrolyzer energy stream.

The resistance to the flow is based on the cell geometry parameters (anode surface area and cathode surface area) specified by the user on the Rating tab. Pressure-Flow resistances k1 and k2 are calculated from the specified pressure-flow tuning factors according to:

k1
k2 = PF Tuning Factor * Anode (or) Cathode surface area

Anode and Cathode cell volumes indicate the volume occupied by the fluid on the respective sides:

[Screenshot of UniSim Design Suite 'AEL-101' - Dynamics tab, showing Parameters (Dynamic Operating Mode, Pressure Flow Tuning Factors), Cell Volume (Anode Segment, Cathode Segment).]

REMINDER! Experion upgrade to R520/530 causes HAM-Reporting (DynAMo M&R) Collector Data Corruption

If the Experion DCS is upgraded to R520+ from an earlier version, it may lead to data corruption problems with DynAMo Metrics & Reporting (M&R) or HAM Reporting (HAM-R) installations. This migration can introduce extra (and invalid) Tagnames, potentially affecting the licensed tag-count limit. Additionally, it may result in the creation of extra Assets, which could negatively impact report performance.

For more details refer to knowledge article KSM2022-DYN003x.

Also refer to Knowledge Article 000189115 – ‘EAS ODBC R530 Client Hotfix Matrix' which lists the ODBC version required against the Windows Operating System installed on the collector, and the minimum version of Experion required to communicate with the ODBC driver.

If you have any doubt please contact the Honeywell Alarm Management Technical Support (GTAC) team if you are planning to migrate to Experion R520+, they will review your system and inform you of what steps are needed to avoid system downtime.

Upgrading Experion to R520/530 prevents HAM-Documentation/ACM Clients from connecting to the application server

Experion 520+ recommends encryption types AES256_HMAC_SHA1, AES128_HMAC_SHA1, and future encryption types as default for Kerberos authentication to ensure secure communication and data integrity. Below is an extract from Experion documents:

Category Policy Value
Group policy Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos AES128_HMAC_SHA1, AES256_HMAC_SHA1, Future encryption types

When these policy settings are implemented on the Experion server, the related client-server applications, like ACM, must be updated as well. Specifically, all client and server machines, along with service users, must be compatible with the new encryption types. If this compatibility is not achieved, it could lead to authentication problems during DCOM communication between the application client and server.

A knowledge article how to address this problem will be published soon. If you are facing problems with ACM clients not connecting to the ACM application server then please contact the Honeywell Alarm Management Technical Support (GTAC) team.

Support Phases Definition

Overall support phases are “Current”, “Supported” and “Phased-out" respectively. These are described below:

Current (Full Support):

Standalone Software Product releases, represented by the 'Current' software releases, are eligible for all applicable support programs made available by HPS, subject to business conditions including, but not limited to, availability of software and support from third party software suppliers. "Current" Support applies to the most recent or current release (R). The entitlements for Current phase are:

  • Full TAC support is available.
  • Category 1 (product not useable) and 2 (major function not useable) PARs are processed and resolved; maintenance and point releases are generated when needed.
  • Product documentation is regularly updated to reflect changes in product features and correct errors found in existing documentation.
  • Relevant security updates for qualified third-party Software (for example, OS software) are qualified.
  • Relevant security updates for certified third-party Software (for example, Microsoft Excel) are certified.
  • At least one anti-virus software product and its updates are qualified or certified.

Supported:

Standalone Software Product releases, represented by selected “Current-n" software releases, are eligible for selected support programs made available by HPS/HCI for such releases, subject to business conditions including, but not limited to, availability of software and support from third party software suppliers. “Supported" applies to the releases prior to the current release.

The Entitlements for Supported phase are:

  • Full TAC support is available.
  • Category 1 (product not useable) PARs are processed and resolved; maintenance and point releases are generated when needed. Selected Category 2 PARs will be evaluated & resolved based on criticality.
  • For PARs other than Category 1&2, "commercially reasonable effort support" will be provided, typically including answering questions and offering advice, but problem fixes may require upgrading to a release in the "Current" support phase.
  • Fixes developed against later releases generally will not be ported back to releases in the supported phase.
  • Product documentation updates generally will not be provided.

Phased-Out:

For Standalone Software Product releases which have been Phased-Out, HPS intends to make commercially reasonable efforts to provide support as, and if, available consisting of technical assistance for product use, lost/damaged software media replacement and reference materials download. "Phased-out" Support applies to releases older than R-2.

  • Limited TAC support will be available.
  • Honeywell may not always be able to enter into a contract for Phased-out releases due to technology or resource considerations. Any contract would exclude PAR fixes.
  • For all PARs, "commercially reasonable effort support" will be provided, typically including answering questions and offering advice, but problem fixes will require upgrading to a release in the "Current" support phase.
  • Fixes developed for later releases generally will not be ported back to Phased-out releases.
  • Product documentation updates will not be provided.

Special Arrangements (Contract Support) can be negotiated for individual customers and may provide additional benefits not otherwise available, as mutually agreed. Special arrangement may provide problem fixes for Retired or Obsolete releases, security or anti-virus qualification or certification after the normal period, or other benefits. Special arrangement agreements are negotiated with Honeywell's Application Technology Services groups and generally have an additional cost. Please note that Honeywell may not always be able to enter into a contract due to technology or resource considerations.
