3 INTRODUCTION

Immersive Competency is an cloud solution that provides a virtual platform to learn the control
and safety system maintenance. With IC, Honeywell leverages the power of cutting-edge
augmented reality technology enabling Maintenance Engineers to engage and interact with
control and safety system hardware and software on a virtual platform. IC brings the plant control
system to the training room wherein you can carry the virtual training platform with you and
practice modular and graded lessons in a hazard free environment.
The virtual, hands-on experience that IC brings to the hardware equipment Maintenance
Engineers to handle Experion PKS Server and Safety Manager operations, event sequences, and
maintenance familiarity which translates to a confidence boost when handling real plant and
safety system maintenance. IC not only enables Maintenance Engineers to train on a control and
safety system, it also enables instructors to set up courses and assessments.

The virtual platform provides the significant advantages of being available on-demand, giving
freedom of accessibility, providing hardware independence, and delivering an immersive learning
experience.
Immersive Competency provides the following out-of-the-box features:
l Hardware setups. Interactive component familiarization for Safety Manager system. 3D
holograms of hardware modules to create a hardware infrastructure and lesson for Experion
PKS system.
l Lessons that caters from installing and configuring a hardware setup to recovering from
faulty hardware scenario.
l Report on progress made in learning.

changes that occurs as a result of changes in the hardware setup. Each Trainee is assigned with
an individual Safety Manager VM. VM assignment is initiated and FQDN is displayed. You must
connect remotely to the Safety Manager through remote session within 30 minutes of VM
assignment. If there is a delay more than 30 minutes, then the VM is released to the resource pool.
Experion VM is also returned to the pool resource in case VM is idle for 30 days.
You can perform the following activity in the System Management:
l Start - For the first instance, request for Virtual Machine assignment. During subsequent
instance, you can start the VM in case it is shutdown.You will receive an email notifying about
the allocation of the VM along with FQDN required to connect remotely to the system.

9.3.4 Requesting New Virtual Machine with Experion PKS or Safety

Manager
Starting with R200, you can request for both Experion PKS and Safety Manager systems based on
your License and training module.
You can request for Experion PKS/Safety Manager Virtual Machine to configure and view the state
changes that occurs as a result of changes in the hardware setup. Each Trainee is assigned with
an individual Safety Manager VM. VM assignment is initiated and FQDN is displayed. You must
connect remotely to the Safety Manager through remote session within 30 minutes of VM
assignment. If there is a delay more than 30 minutes, then the VM is released to the resource pool.
Experion VM is also returned to the pool resource in case VM is idle for 30 days.
You can perform the following activity in the System Management:

l Start - For the first instance, request for Virtual Machine assignment. During subsequent
instance, you can start the VM in case it is shutdown.You will receive an email notifying about
the allocation of the VM along with FQDN required to connect remotely to the system.
l Stop - Shutdown the VM. However, VM is still assigned to the requested user. You will receive
an email notifying that you must Start the VM from the Management Console.
l Delete - You can return the VM to the resource pool on completion of tasks in Safety Builder. If
the VM is idle for 30 days, then it is automatically deleted. In both the case, VM will disassociated
from the assigned user. You must request for new VM using Start option. You will receive an
email notifying that assign VM is deleted and you must initiate the VM request process from the
Management Console.
l Refresh - Fetches the latest system detail.

Plugging in Hardware Modules

You can plug-in IOTA, modules, network switches, or field devices in two scenarios. First when you
are creating a new hardware infrastructure and second when you are replacing a faulty hardware
module. However, to plug-in the hardware in second scenario requires you to perform one
additional task. The additional task is to select the target location to plug-in the module and then
select (click or air-tap) the module to view the menu options.
For example, when you are replacing faulty IOTA, you must first unplug the C300 and network
cables plugged into the IOTA. After replacing the faulty IOTA, before plugging in C300 or network
cable, you must first select the target IOTA location and then select (click or air-tap) the unplugged
C300 or cable to view the menu to select the action.

After bootup, C300 Controller LEDs blink properly but IP is displayed as -

BP-

Problem: In the IC Client Application (HoloLens/PC), hardware setup is created and cabinet is
powered ON. C300 controller LEDs blinks properly but the IP address displayed as -BP-. C300
Controller hardware is not mapped to relevant control strategy in the Control Builder.
Cause 1: User is not assigned Experion PKS Server.
Solution 1: Request for Experion PKS Server from IC Management Console- System Management.
Cause 2: Remote session to Experion PKS is not Active.
Solution 2: Start a remote connection to the assigned Experion PKS Server.
Cause 3: Lack or loss of communication between IC Agent and IC client application.
Solution 3: Restart Experion PKS Server to establish the connection.

Cabinet is above your eye-level in the Mixed Reality environment

Problem: In your Mixed Reality environment cabinet and other hologram would appear above your
eye-level causing discomfort in performing the operation.
Cause: In case you have changed the location, then the previous environment setting would not
match the dimension of your current environment.
Solution: Reset the environment to the current location, and verify the actual ground matches the
ground in Mixed Reality.
Follow the steps to reset the environment:
1. Open the Mixed Reality Portal.
2. Click ellipses at the bottom-left corner and select Settings. The Settings page appears.

3. In the left-pane, click Environment. In the center-pane, click Clear environment data.
