18 Click OK on the Load Dialog window.
ATTENTION
Load status is indicated by a progress bar, which

disappears after successful load of the Control
Strategy
Incase of any errors, check the Knowledge Builder for
information related to the error code displayed

Honeywell, Inc.
 Step Action
19 Click on the Monitoring tab to open the Monitoring – Assignment window.
ATTENTION
Monitoring Assignment window displays SIM-C200

block downloaded earlier, and appearing in blue color
Blue color denotes the status of SIM-C200 block is
IDLE
Knowledge Builder contains detailed information of
status and corresponding color for the controller state
20 Expand the SIM-C200 block to view the CEE associated with the SIM-C200 block.
ATTENTION
Note the CEE associated with SIM-C200 also has the

same status, and is presently at IDLE
Changing the state of the CEE will also change the
status for the associated controller
21 To change the state of the CEE, from the Monitoring Assignment window select the CEE
located under the SIM-C200 block.
22 Right click on the CEE block and select Change State.

Honeywell, Inc.
 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
PKS\Client\Xldataex path.
ATTENTION
This file is required for the lab following this procedure.
