Facilities: Controls and Simulation Laboratory
This laboratory is dedicated to our controls course. It contains 18 color
graphics terminals used to run our IBM Advanced Control System (ACS) package
on our university IBM 3090 mainframe.
This laboratory also includes some interaction with the Unit Operations
laboratory. In Madison 210 there is a computer interface connected to a
dual-effect evaporator. There are also three table top control units in
Madison 110, which are used to illustrate controls in a real time
application.
Since the last ABET visit the laboratory has been enhanced by the
construction of two tabletop process control units in Madison 110. An
ethernet process control system was recently purchases as well as ChemCad
software to help in process simulation. |
