What is AVEVA’s Control system simulation portfolio?
AVEVA offers a robust simulation environment for Schneider Electric controllers, ensuring seamless connectivity with a shared communication protocol. The solutions in this portfolio include AVEVA™ Simulation for Foxboro™ Control (formerly SCP), AVEVA™ Simulation for Triconex™ Systems (formerly TRISIM), and AVEVA™ PLC Simulation. These solutions facilitate effective operator training, control systems validation, and improved plant performance.
“Use of the simulator shortened commissioning by at least a week. This translates into substantial cost savings, since each day of loss generation could mean $250,000 to $500,000 per day.”
—Andy Hoekstra, Project Manager, TEP Springerville
Benefits
Reliably reduce operating costs
Build, test and optimize control logic and HMI on your desktop without the need for real control processes.
Shorten commissioning time
Verify control configuration prior to commissioning the actual unit to minimize startup time.
Effectively train your operators
Train and certify operators in a risk-free environment.
Features
One-to-one real-simulation relationship
Fully integrate with real control processors, enabling identical functionality and real-time situational awareness.
Accurate process simulation
Generate a wide range of simulation models for testing, validation and training purposes.
Signal cross-referencing utilities
Cross-reference your input and output signals from the control blocks to the process model.

How to use Control system simulation solutions
Operator training
Safely teach operators the learn and test control system responses, including start-up, shutdown, and malfunction scenarios. This convenient review and teaching tool lets you replay training exercises, establish baselines for exercises, and certify exercises.
Control systems checkout
Complete comprehensive control system checkout and tuning before and after plant startup. Reduce critical start-up time, eliminate defects, and save significant costs.
Factory acceptance testing
Perform accurate and cost-effective factory acceptance testing, irrespective of system complexity. With a variety of process modeling tools available, you can work through all the necessary conditions to thoroughly exercise your entire control system.
