June 27, 2008 - MYNAH Technologies released their Simulated IO Driver for the Previse INFI 90/Net 90 Controller Simulator. This release allows MiMiC v3 Simulation Software to be used for operator training and software acceptance testing for systems that use ABB Bailey INFI 90 or NET 90 Controllers. Bailey users who are in the process of control system modernization using products like Emerson's DeltaV Connect for Bailey can take advantage of the proven benefits of using MiMiC Simulation for control system testing and operator training. MYNAH's new Previse Bailey CIU SIO Driver (MM3-2109) is the Simulated IO Driver that makes this solution possible. It recently passed engineering release and is now available for customer purchase.
It supports integrated control of CIU Simulator Workstations and works with the advanced features and capabilities of MiMiC v3 over an Open Ethernet Simulation Network. MiMiC v3, the 3rd generation simulation platform from MYNAH, provides a scalable and flexible yet powerful and dynamic simulation solution for automation system testing and operator training. MiMiC is scalable from very small to very large projects offering a solution for any process industry user, while still providing accurate, dynamic simulations. Unlike other simulation offerings, MiMiC is designed to be implemented by the end-user so that developing, modifying, and maintaining MiMiC simulations is easy and cost-effective.
MiMiC was designed for automation system testing and operator training, providing the greatest return in these activities for the simulation investment.By testing the plant’s automation system with simulation for normal, abnormal, and upset conditions, the user can verify that the application software has been designed and implemented to meet the functional needs of the process, EPA and other federal regulations, as well as the testing requirements of validated industries. This improves plant safety, environmental protection, operator competency, overall efficiency, and production. MiMiC Simulation Software supports the testing, optimization, and training that plants need to stay profitable and competitive.
MiMiC v3 supports a number of automation platforms including Emerson Process Management, Schneider Electric, other automation systems that support the OPC protocol, and now the ABB Bailey platform. Additionally, MiMiC v3 includes modeling and operator training functionality such as integrated thermodynamic properties, steam tables, automatic engineering unit conversions, and first principles unit operations modeling objects. User interfaces are completely configurable and dynamic, allowing the user to view simulation and training information in dynamic tables, real-time trends, or dynamic process flow diagrams.
The MiMiC Operator Training Manager supports structured training sessions with scenario building by data browsing (no scripting), integrated session scoring, and reporting in open data formats like HTML and PDF. Substantial return on investment in simulation systems has been proven across all process industries from batch to continuous processes. Probably the most significant improvement in MiMiC's 3rd-generation simulation is the added modeling functionality that saves time and money and allows users to create advanced models of complex plants. Don Sengur, Advanced Simulation Consultant, notes that the MiMiC v3 automatic engineering unit conversions alone saves simulation development and management time by 10%.
It also saves time by improved usability and design with intuitive wizard-driven configurations and powerful data visualization tools. Using simulation for testing and training for automation systems has proven benefits for capital project execution and operational excellence initiatives. MiMiC v3 is currently the only third-generation simulation software of its kind to solve the industry’s complex needs and deliver significant results, with minimal risk and investment.
