Vista Control Systems^® Simulation, Training and Complex Control Software

The software architecture of Vsystem makes the incorporation of computer models and complex control algorithms very easy to incorporate into Vsystem.

Customers have been implementing such systems to:

• Add theoretical algorithms to the live system for control
• Add models to the live system to allow operators to test settings and commands before issuing them to the hardware.
• Add system models in place of the hardware to provide an off-line simulation and training system.

For off-line simulation and training systems, a copy of the on-line system is used along with a model that replaces the hardware - thus ensuring the same look and feel and greatly reducing the implementation time.

Current applications include:

• Steel hot-mill setup algorithms
• Aluminum mill complex control
• Satellite control room systems
• Coal-fired power plant training simulators
• Nuclear power plant simulators
• Charged-particle accelerators and beam lines
