Smart Process Plant Training System

The Smart Process Plant incorporates cutting-edge and legacy technologies to simulate a real-world training environment:

1. Device Level: Smart sensors monitor level, flow, temperature, pressure, and pH. Communication is managed via IO-Link, Ethernet, or HART protocols.
2. Control Level: A Distributed Control System (DCS), along with various PLCs and PIDs, allows seamless operation and control of system components.
3. Enterprise Level: The DCS software provides supervisory control and data analytics for monitoring smart production, maintenance, and more.

The system's core functionality is driven by the PlantPAx Supervisory Control Software. This advanced software efficiently organizes data, enabling seamless monitoring and management of process operations. It provides real-time dashboards that deliver comprehensive insights into system performance, ensuring learners can analyze and optimize process status with precision and confidence.

The system features industrial-quality components and instruments that mimic those found in real-world settings, ensuring learners gain skills that seamlessly translate to the workplace.

The Smart Process Plant is equipped with a variety of hands-on experiments that simulate both continuous and batch process control loops. These experiments cover applications such as:

• Bioreactor Application
• Clean-In-Place (CIP) Skid Application
• Boiler Drum Level Application
• Wastewater Treatment Application

Training Topics:

Learners will explore core process control concepts, including:

• Temperature, level, flow, pressure, and pH ratio control
• Agitation
• Sequence and continuous control
• 3-element control
• Feed-forward and cascade control
• Pump lead/lag demand
