ESIM Operator Station

The operator station is the heart of any simulation system. It is the window through which an operator or an engineer monitors, controls and manages the process plant.

ESIM provides emulation for several standard DCS interfaces including

• Yokogawa's Centum XL,
• Yokogawa's CentumCS 3000
• Honeywell's TDC3000 DCS.

All functions and features that are essential for training are included. With ESIM, operators learn dynamic process interactions with the same in-depth understanding of your process as with full function direct connect operator-training stations. ESIM Simulator contains many standard features of real DCS console. Using either PC keyboard or simulated keyboard (on the screen keyboard) or ESIM emulated keyboard and touch screen/ mouse the trainee can operate the simulated plant. The features of DCS that are available are:

• Group and detail displays
• Overviews
• Trends
• Schematics
• Alarms

We use Glg Toolkit as a cross-platform RAD tool for developing dynamic data-driven graphics and visual components. The Toolkit includes an interactive Graphics Builder for creating 2D and 3D dynamic graphics displays, and a number of containers for deploying the graphics in different programming environments, cross-platform and cross-browser: for Windows/C++.

Any number of Operator stations can be connected to the Instructor station, thus offering multiple operator station facility.
