Find your digital learning material on → lx.festo.com 25 Learning Media > Software > Simulation and Control Learn and work through the basics of control technology step by step with FluidLab-PA. The EasyPort connects the PC and real hardware, e.g., the EduKit PA, the MPS PA Compact Workstation, or the MPS PA Stations. Settings Parameterize sensor values with factor and offset to display the physical values as well as signal attenuation via mean value filter for the analogue input signals. Display of the physical value in the variable unit field. Further setting options are the inversion of the controller sense, Y-offset for continuous control and the selection of the simulation mode. Menu: Measure All binary and analogue process data, for example the signal states of the sensors, process fittings and the pump, can be displayed graphically and evaluated directly. Functions such as selecting the measuring channels, adjusting the test time or cursor evaluation with zoom function are available for recording the sensor characteristic curve and determining a step response. Menu: Characteristic Curve The characteristic curve of an actuator (e.g. pump or proportional valve) is examined from different points of view (voltage on flow, flow on pressure, pressure on voltage). Menu: 2-point Controller Typical applications are level and temperature control systems. Menu: Continuous Control Experiment, configure and optimize control processes (P, PI, PD or PID controllers) with immediate effect in the process. Controlled systems can be operated at the click of a mouse. Easy documentation of the control parameter is possible. The measured values and curve progressions can be comprehensively documented. The block diagram can be displayed as a function menu for all continuous controllers with current numerical values. Industrial Controller Functions Plant operation as in a process control system. Setpoints can be specified and manual/automatic controller switching is possible. Simulation A simulated process model illustrates the process identically to the operation of the real hardware.

Various Applications, One Interface Whether the system is real or simulated, you can seamlessly switch between the two with a simple toggle. Whether you are controlling the system directly using the switching elements or programming independent sequences via the Festo Didactic EzOPC interface, both are easily implemented through intuitive menu navigation. Operating Concept A consistent and unified operating concept applies to all systems, whether you’re managing the EduKit PA, the MPS PA Compact Workstation, MPS PA 204 Mixing, or, for instance, EDS Water Management Sand Filtration. The system diagram facilitates the selection between the simulated and real systems, addressed through the EasyPort. The inclusion of real components in the system diagram provides a quick reference to the actual system. Switching states The switching states are not only depicted in the system diagram but are also displayed and recorded in curve diagrams. Programming To create your own PLC program or describe Grafcet sequences, the EzOPC interface enables control over both simulations and the real system using FluidSIM, CoDeSys simulation mode, and PLCSIM Advanced software. Supplementary Topics – Filling process with the IoT kit extension package – Direct storage of simple and fixed programmed processes directly from the software. – Integration of hidden errors in signal states Simulated Systems: EduKit PA, MPS PA Compact Workstation, MPS PA 204 with mixing and filtering; EDS Water Management System (water supply, sand filtration, membrane filtration). Additional stations will be introduced through updates/upgrades and can be accessed on the Internet.
