Description

RT 450 Process Automation Training System: Base Module Educational Equipment Hydrology Trainers

Together with its wide-ranging accessory components, the RT 450 base module provides a modular, fully flexible and open-design system for learning the fundamentals of process automation by means of experimentation. The accessory components are pre-installed on panels. The base module provides an extensive frame for quick and safe mounting of the components required for the various experiments. It includes a water supply with tank and pump, a switch cabinet for power supply as well as connections, maintenance units, and a pressure regulator for an external compressed air supply.

Connecting up the measuring and control cables and the process lines, as well as connection to the electricity supply, form key elements of the programme of exercises. Alongside the purely systematic technical learning content involved, key aspects of the teaching goals are pre-planning, modification, testing, commissioning and optimisation.

Optimal learning is achieved when two or three students work together on a training system as a group.

An instrumentation and control software (RT 450.40) with an interface module for PROFIBUS DP (RT 450.41) is available as an accessory. This enables the key process variables to be displayed and control functions to be executed.
