Emerson has announced the availability of the Scenario Virtual Engineer, which combines simulation, virtual technology and its Ovation control system within a desktop PC.
The Scenario Virtual Engineer provides power generators with the necessary tools to build, test, verify and download process graphics, control logic and process point databases without impacting plant operation.
The Virtual Engineer consists of a single PC workstation loaded with complete Ovation engineering, operator and database server software as well as the Ovation Developer Studio configuration and simulation tools.
Because the workstation supports virtual controller technology, up to 20 Ovation controllers can be virtually duplicated within this one Microsoft Windows-based workstation.
With this capability, power generators have the flexibility to duplicate and load select processes or their entire control system onto a single workstation that can be located anywhere in the plant or on the corporate campus.
The Virtual Engineer simply executes the plant's control logic, algorithms and control timing directly in the Windows operating system.
Users can develop tie-back simulation to verify controls and graphics, and simulate digital point feedback including on/off or open/closed status.
The Scenario Virtual Engineer can be used to test control logic for new plant equipment or processes prior to loading it on the live control system; or to modify existing control strategies and validate their operation on the virtual platform, identifying and correcting issues before they impact plant operations.
