Experion Distributed System Architecture

Honeywell’s patented Distributed System Architecture (DSA) provides unmatched


scalability and performance by seamlessly integrating alarms and process data from
multiple Experion systems. DSA provides maximum flexibility in system design and
superior integration capabilities whether applied within a site or across different
geographical locations, between similar or different Experion releases. Experion® PKS
– The Knowledge to Make it Possible.
