Module template library

Simulation module templates

There are three module templates with process simulation and control. The templates simulate a heat exchanger process. SIM_SR_PID uses a PID block to control the outlet temperature. SIM_SR_FLC uses an FLC block to control outlet temperature. SIM_SR_MPC uses an MPC block to control outlet temperature and pressure. These templates are for testing and evaluation, not for controlling a real process.

You can download a module created from one of these templates to a controller with default parameter values. You can customize the simulation modules from the detail display at the operator's workstation. After you create a simulation module from one of the module templates and download it to a controller, just add a dynamo to the display used for the operator. For a module created from SIM_SR_PID, use either of the PID Loop dynamos (PID LOOP 1 or PID LOOP 2). For a module created from SIM_SR_FLC, use either of the FLC Loop dynamos (FLC LOOP 1 or FLC LOOP 2). For a module created from SIM_SR_MPC, use the frsAdvCFncblk dynamos.

From the operator environment, open the faceplate and detail display for the simulation module. For information on customizing the simulation module, refer to the FLC or PID Simulation Module Detail Display topic.
