Classroom Simulator Capabilities

• A Classroom Simulator Station can run a full scope replicasimulator software on a standard laptop or PC

• Generally the Classroom Simulator is fully emulated allowing theuser to control the plant through Panel Graphic or HMIemulation screens

• A Classroom Simulator Station may have multiple simulators onthe same platform allowing an instructor or student to activatemore than one type of plant or plant condition on each station

• Each Classroom Simulator Station can run the simulatorindependently or jointly with other students or with aninstructor

• In the same Classroom some Stations may run independentlyand others may run as a group
