 Step Action

23 Click the drop down selection list for CEE Command and select WARMSTART

ATTENTION

WARMSTART - Warm restart preserves all data that

cold restart preserves but it also preserves additional
operational data as well. An example of operational
data which is preserved is the mode of a primary
RegCtl block connected to a direct analog output. In
cases of CEE-to-CEE regulatory cascades this mode
is retained across warm restart.
COLDSTART - Any live data which can be derived
directly from the process is wiped out. But in addition,
much of the operational data which was captured in
the saved checkpoint is reinitialized. All configuration
data is of course saved across cold restart.

24 Click OK.

25 Verify the status of the SIM-C200 and the CEE block has changed to running indicated
by Green color.

ATTENTION

Green color denotes the status of SIM-C200 block is

Active or Running
Changing the state of the CEE will also change the
status for the associated controller

Configure Microsoft Excel Data Exchange to write to Experion database

This procedure is only supposed to be followed in the class. If Microsoft Excel Data Exchange
(MEDE) needs to write back to the Experion server database then while installing Experion Server
software, Custom installation should be selected (The default selection is Complete which installs
MEDE in read-only mode). This optional choice is available to be made only in R300 Off Process
Beta version and will NOT be available in On Process and Release versions of R300.

MEDE is not recommended to be used in Write enabled mode for customer installations because
there is no authentication mechanism for writing back to Experion database.

 Step Action

1 If not already done, log on as local administrator on the ES-C.

2 Insert the Miscellaneous Software CD into CD/DVD drive.

3 Copy the mede.xla file from the CD to the local C:\Program Files\Honeywell\Experion

ATTENTION

This file is required for the lab following this procedure.

4 Double-click the activatemede.vbs file to activate Microsoft Excel Data Exchange in
