May 10, 2009 - MYNAH Technologies released MiMiC v3.2.0 Simulation Software for operator training and automation system testing. This release includes major enhancements that provide connectivity to new automation system platforms, and more accurate dynamic process models for less model development time. Two new Simulated IO (SIO) Drivers are available in the MiMiC v3.2.0 release. The MiMiC SIO Driver for DeltaV SIS SimulatePro provides a non-intrusive simulation interface for DeltaV SIS system testing and operator training. The MiMiC SIO Driver for the Ethernet/IP protocol provides a non-intrusive simulation interface for system testing and operator training in process plants using Rockwell PLCs. The release of these two drivers extends the proven value of dynamic simulation for control system software acceptance testing and operator training to new process industry users. MiMiC v3.2.0 also includes new Advanced Modeling functions included in the Thermo, Flash, and Stream Property Function Package. These functions are dynamic, sophisticated simulation functions providing first-principle calculation of process stream properties, and handling complicated flash calculations. These functions allow the user to develop more accurate, dynamic simulations for less time and money. MiMiC Operator Training Manager has also been enhanced to include model speedup/slowdown controls allowing the user to increase or decrease the speed of execution of the simulation. MiMiC v3.2.0 has been released for any new system purchases. MiMiC users who are current on MiMiC Software Support can upgrade to MiMiC v3.2.0 for no additional charge. MiMiC Simulation Software is a dynamic process and I/O simulation solution designed for automation system testing and operator training. MiMiC is scalable from small to large projects, offering solutions for any process industry user. Unlike other simulation offerings, MiMiC is designed to be implemented by the end-user so that developing, modifying, and maintaining dynamic simulation is easy and cost-effective. MiMiC works with many off-line process control systems, including Emerson Process Management DeltaV, Schneider Electric Unity and Quantum platforms, Previse ABB Simulator, Rockwell PLCs and other automation systems that support the OPC, Open Modbus TCP/IP, or Ethernet/IP protocols. By testing their automation system and training operators with MiMiC, process companies worldwide have increased product quality while reducing time to market, cost, and risk. MiMiC is a proven tool for both Capital Project Excellence (CapEx) and Operational Excellence (OpEx) initiatives.
