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.

      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.

      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.
