DOCUMENTATION AND PROJECT CHANGE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – HONEYWELL TRACE

The article examines modern approaches to organizing documentation and managing changes in industrial automation projects using the Honeywell Trace software platform. The evolution of documentation tools from the Documentation Tool utility within the TDC 2000/3000 system to modern intelligent solutions is described. The architecture, functional capabilities, and supported interfaces of Honeywell Trace are analyzed. Particular attention is paid to automated configuration change tracking, comprehensive search by process tags, and the detection of potential errors. The possibilities of integrating the system with industrial process control systems, controllers, auxiliary systems, and industrial communication protocols are considered. The application of Honeywell Trace during Factory Acceptance Tests and the modernization of process control systems is analyzed. The System Performance Analyzer function, which employs predictive algorithms, pattern recognition, and machine learning methods, is also discussed. Quantitative indicators demonstrating improved productivity, reduced defects, and lower labor requirements are presented. The economic efficiency and payback period of implementing the system are evaluated using a specific example. It is concluded that Honeywell Trace can contribute to improving the reliability, efficiency, and continuity of industrial plant operations.
