Networking of Industrial Controllers- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
One of the aims of process automation
is to monitor and control plant or plant components centrally from a
computer. This task performed by a process control system. This trainer
demonstrates the operation of a process control system based on a simple
application. The trainer consists of two process controllers
interconnected via a field bus interface (Profibus DP) and an interface
card with a PC. On the PC, an OPC (OLE for Process Control) server makes
the controller data available to other programs under Windows for
further processing. The process control software developed by GUNT on
the basis of LabView accesses
the process data on the controllers and enables it to be visualised.
The software also allows the process controllers' parameters to be set.
Various functions such as recorders and alarm logs enable a simple
control room function to be simulated.
Two potentiometers permit the
simulation of input signals for the controllers. The controlled
variable, manipulating variable and reference variable data are
delivered as standard signals at lab jacks, enabling the controllers to
be integrated into real processes at any time.
Clearly structured instructional material outlines the fundamentals and
provides a step-by-step guide through the exercises.
