The simulation tool is part of the “SCE education” concept of the Siemens Automation and Drives Group (A&D) and, depending on the application, simulates input and output signals, the instrumentation and field units as well as a model of the plant. The result is a complete, dynamic simulation of the plant based on real physical models combined with the automation system. Siemens thus offers research facilities as well as development and training centers a simple introduction to professional plant simulation. In plant development, errors must be detected and corrected as early as possible. In the same ways, trainees can use Simit SCE to quickly detect errors in the planning of automation systems. Depending on the level of knowledge already reached by his students, the system provides the teacher with graded concepts for plant monitoring: starting from a simple signal test of the automation system at the press of a button to testing of the drive level and simulation of the physical process behavior.
