Complete Technical Specifications (for main items)

• The complete unit includes as well:

Advanced Real-Time SCADA.

Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.

Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.

Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and

demonstrated to an entire class at one time.

Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.

Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support

are always included.

Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).

Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.

Optional ICAI software helps the user perform calculations and comprehend the results.

This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is

the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously

operate many units in a network.

• 2 CEAC/CCSOF. Computer Control + Data Acquisition + Data Management Software:

The three softwares are part of the SCADA system.

Compatible with actual Windows operating systems. Graphic and intuitive simulation of the

process in screen. Compatible with the industry standards.

Registration and visualization of all process variables in an automatic and simultaneous way.

Flexible, open and multicontrol software, developed with actual windows graphic systems

acting simultaneously on all process parameters.

The software allow to set different systems to control, such as integral systems, first order systems

(with or without delay time) and second order systems.

Every system has different dynamic animations that shows the response of the systems.

The CEAC/CCSOF allows to show the mathematical model of the current simulated system.

Control menu to adjust the different controls as PID, pPI and gain scheduling.

Management, processing, comparison and storage of data. CEAC/CCSOF

Sampling velocity up to 500 KS/s (kilo samples per second).

Comparative analysis of the obtained data, after the process and modification of the conditions during

the process.

Open software, allowing the teacher to modify texts, instructions. Teacher�s and student�s

passwords to facilitate the teacher�s control on the student, and allowing the access to different work

levels.

This unit allows the 30 students of the classroom to visualize simultaneously all the results

and the manipulation of the unit, during the process, by using a projector or an electronic

whiteboard.
