| What is the
P-SIM 2000? |
|
|
|
|
The P-SIM 2000 is a computer software package which allows an IBM compatible
computer to act as a process simulator when demonstrating or teaching PLCs.
This program comes complete with an exercise manual, containing over 200
electrical schematics and a windows program to view th corresponding Ladder
Logic Diagram. To view example of the Exercise Manual Click

|
|
A BUILT-IN LADDER/LOGIC PROGRAM EDITOR allows students to create, test
and debug industry standard LADDER-LOGIC programs to control these animated
processes. All that is required to master the art of generic PLC operations
and programming is a computer and the P-SIM 2000 training package. Below
is a view of the fully functional Ladder Editor. |

Realistic Industrial Simulations. To see how the P-SIM 2000 Industrial
Applications work, view the linked page. It will show you simulations
on how it works. |
|
|
Typical industrial processes such as material transfer operations using
a conveyor or batch mixing tanks complete with pumps and metering are graphically
displayed on the screen. |
|
|
The displayed processes are fully animated and will respond to the signals
of a PLC in the same manner that actual process equipment and sensors would
respond. For example, a properly addressed PLC output can be used to start
a pump on a mixing tank. Once started, visual indication of the pump's
rotation and fluid flow will appear on the computer screen. In addition,
a digital signal representative of fluid flow would be transferred back
as an input to the PLC program. |
|
|
P-SIM demonstrates the programming and operation of an actual PLC. The
functionality of P-SIM is representative of current trends employed by
PLC manufacturers. Upon completion of the P-SIM 2000 course, the student
will understand and will be able to program basic relay inputs, output
instructions, counter, timer circuits, compare functions and debugging
procedures. |
|
|
In order to proceed with P-SIM 2000, the student must demonstrate an understanding
of basic relay logic control. Topics included in this course include the
five basic input and output instructions, counters, timers and compare
function blocks. In addition to these basic instructions the concept of
branching will be introduced. This feature enables the student to incorporate
logical "AND" and "OR" operations in their programs. |
|
|
Activities included to reinforce the theories taught consist of a series
of laboratory exercises. These exercises are designed around the processes
simulated in the P-SIM software package. |

2000 Student Version |
|
|
A new student version of the P-SIM 2000 program is available. The program
will perform many of the exercises within the new Exercise Manual (approximately
180 of the 200 plus exercises). The new student program will sell in lots
of five @ 95.00 each in US funds. The student programs will be available
to those customers who purchase a 5 station version (or above) of the P-SIM
2000 program. It is intended for use by the Instructor for student exercises
in the classroom or for home study. |
|
|
To order the student version, first place your order for a 5 or more station
version and also verify the quantity of sets of 5 of the student programs
you need below.

I/O Interface |
|
| Complete
with Simulator Program |
|
|
The P-SIM I/O board is for product specific PLC training, such as using
a Gould Modicon, Allen Bradley, Omron, or Siemans PLC and is provided with
a Simulation Program. The simulations are comparable to those in the P-SIM
2000 program. The detail that makes the new simulator program software
so versatile is the incorporation of the ladder logic address systems that
can be selected to match those of Gould Modicon, Allen Bradley, Omron,
or Siemans PLC's, or the use of True Decimal, or User Defined addressing. |
|
|
The P-SIM I/O board combined with the simulator program is an inexpensive
method of teaching PLC ladder logic programming, and is an alternative
to the more expensive PLC training systems. Rather than using mechanical
devices to prove the development of ladder logic, the P-SIM Simulator program
uses industrial simulations that incorporate all of the address systems
that would be found in most all real-world industrial applications. The
display processes are fully animated and will respond to the signals of
the PLC in the same manner that actual process equipment and sensors would
respond. The PLC is programmed to control the simulations within the simulator
program. |
|
|
The P-SIM I/O Board comes complete with, a Simulation Program, Manual,
a protective cover and the necessary connecting cables and installation
instructions. |
|
|
With the P-SIM I/O interface, any make of PLC using industry standard 24volt
D.C. I/O, can be easily connected. |
