IPA Virtual is a PC-based, graphic simulation system, which provides the virtual learning environment for the Industrial Process Automation (IPA) training system. This system is programmed like the real model using STEP 7 and is controlled via the "PLCSIM"
software. Furthermore, the model can be operated with the integrated controllers without any additional software.
The system covers all relevant areas from commissioning the compact workstation all the way to control loop optimisation.
The program developed to operate the simulation system can be uploaded for work directly with the real compact station.
