Process system control element e.g. for chemical processing installations, includes graphics display module for graphical representation of region of process installation

摘要

A process control system element for use in a process installation having a user interface and one or more process control units, includes a control module designed to be used at the process control units so as to implement process control activities within the process installation, a graphics display module to provide a graphical representation of at least one region of the process installation, a process simulation module for simulating the operations of physical devices within the process installation which are controlled by the control module and is connected with the control module in order to transfer data between process simulation module and the control module during operation of the latter.
