ProcesSim is an interactive simulator of operative parts
For training ProcesSim is :
a didactic workshop of automatisms, of supervision and simulation operative parts ;
a teaching system including of a "components " part and a " software " part allowing training in programming and maintenance of automated systems.
It allows :
to simulate the operative part ;
learning to program automata ;
to find out about troubleshooting ;
to supervise ;
the maintenance and archiving of an automated industrial process.
For industry, ProcesSim and virtual modelling allow:
to quickly conceive reliable automatisms satisfying customers needs ;
to perform virtual testing for existing processes for increasing their efficiency, it is often impossible to perform these tests on production equipment without reducing productivity ;
easy writing of the interactive documentation and user’s guides thanks to the virtual instruction manual generated by the software.
The sofware comprises :
a virtual automation process ;
a simulator of operative parts ;
a programming interface ;
a programmable logic controller (PLC) programmable with the PC ;
an interface for driving and communication ;
a supervisor function ;
various analysis tools and a dynamic visualization of the program ;
a connection with the real world of the PLC ;
an effective help for learning programming and conduct of automated systems.
ProcesSim is :
a tool for the analysis of the process to automate and for reflecting on the problem at hand ;
an algorithmic search for an optimized solution ;
an adequate choice of the various control actuators ;
a choice between various working scenarios for the process at hand ;
an optimization of the processes via the virtual experimentation ;
a strong sales advantage for the designer or the programmer-integrator ;
a way to highlight the relevance of the improvements to be integrated into a process ;
a tool for training ;
a monitoring tool.
