About Simulation
This is a realistic simulation of an industrial process for mixing and processing liquids. The simulated system uses 480 volts AC 3 phase for its power portion, consisting of:
Pump, Agitator, and Heaters.
Motors and Transformers.
Contactors and Overloads.
The control portion of the system consists of a variety of components typically found in industrial control systems such as:
Temperature, Float and Selector Switches.
Relays, Timers and Pushbuttons.
Solenoid Valves, Fuses, and Indicators
Wiring, Terminal Blocks, and Wire Connectors.
This troubleshooting simulator has over 30 faults to solve. These faults simulate both electrical and mechanical failures. You can interact with the simulation just like a real system. You can:
Operate the system remotely or locally.
Take voltage, resistance and current readings with a multimeter.
Inspect, repair and replace components.
Disconnect and ring out wires.
Inspect, Repair and Replace Components
Take Current Readings in the Power Circuit
Take Resistance Readings
The simulation used in Troubleshooting Industrial Controls is realistic and accurate. It has many features that make it an excellent tool for developing advanced troubleshooting skills.
The simulation is lifelike and includes all the tools normally used to troubleshoot this type of equipment.
Realistic actions such as taking meter readings, removing wires, and inspecting and replacing components are all standard features.
Modeled on real equipment, the behavior of the system and components is accurate under normal and faulty conditions, and even when wires are disconnected.
Accurate equipment models ensure that readings taken in the simulation are virtually the same as readings taken on real equipment.
A powerful Observation tool allows for comprehensive analysis of the system and its operation.
Customizable regional settings for either North American or European standards, including design standards, system voltage levels, and circuit drawings.
This simulation contains many types of defects designed to give the user practice on a wide range of potential problems. Typical types of failures are:
Opens in components or wiring.
Shorts in components or wiring.
Defects in component mechanisms.
Overloaded and defective three-phase motors and protective equipment.
Opens and shorts in three-phase circuits.
Defective mechanical components.
As faults are attempted, each step the user makes is monitored for safety reasons.
Safety Error messages appear when the user performs unsafe actions that could cause personal injury, break a safety rule, or break safe work practices.
The program also monitors testing procedures, and provides tips or warnings as required
Business Edition......$495
(US) Single Lic.
The Business Edition is for use on standalone PCs and offers unlimited
enrollment, which means that any number of people can use the software. It is
most appropriate for small groups of users where minimal monitoring is required.
Users have access to the complete fault set, and can print out a progress report
as well as a certificate of completion.
Enterprise Edition....$895 (US) Single Lic.
The Enterprise Edition can be installed on a server or on standalone PCs, and is
priced per concurrent user or per standalone PC. This edition also includes an
Instructor Guide for each program and the Simutech Course Manager. It is most
appropriate for where an instructor or supervisor will monitor and manage the
users' progress, such as in a classroom environment. Several types of reports
and can be either exported or printed, and several course options can be
modified through the course management software.
