OTS Stimulation

The OTS Stimulation will reproduce the three main categories:

• the High Fidelity model will simulate the process and the field instrumentation
• the Virtual Controller Environment will use a copy of the plant data base to control the simulated process
• a trainee console similar to the plant DCS will host and operate a copy of the plant graphic displays.

As shown on the above figure, the Virtual Controller, will be a connecting environment between the INDISS™ High Fidelity model and the Trainee Console. It provides process information to the Trainee and will control the process simulated in the OTS server.

The Virtual Controller environment is very specific to each DCS vendor and details are available on each DCS vendor internet site.
