Developing computer-based on-line simulators for process operators

A modern Process Control System (PCS) is a software and hardware complex, which consists of many components -- field devices and sensors, process controllers, operator stations, information servers and other. Process operators must be specially trained and have high qualification, because they are responsible for running the process correctly. This creates a need in training and retraining of process operators. One of the most effective approaches to such kind of training is using computer-based online process control system simulators. The main field of interest of the team is development of simulators to be used for process operators training. The control system is metsoDNA of Metso Automation Inc.
