The Control Station training simulator enhances process control education

Abstract: Training simulators enhance learning by integrating the theoretical abstraction of textbooks with the tactile nature of the lab. The primary objective of training simulators is education. They motivate, help with visualization, and provide hands-on practice and experience. This paper explores the use of training simulators for process control education. Discussed are the methods used and experiences gained in developing Control Station, a training simulator used in the curriculum of hundreds of academic instit… Show more

“…The program also allows for user control of a flow control valve so that, a change in valve position can be logged along with the resulting sensor reading. The data could be transferred to control station (Cooper, Doug, 2002) or a spreadsheet and a First Order Plus Dead Time model for the system can be obtained. Another feature of this program is its calibration element.…”
