Miniplant FIRCA |
|
| Philosophy of TeLC
Miniplants:
TeLC Miniplants follow a standardized design principle which adopts to
some extent the real situation in an industrial plant.So is found the
field department and the control department. Field and control are both
equipped with original industrial instruments. The control department
contains the mimetic display and the control instruments. Deviating from
reality the field which is concentrated in the mimetic display is to be
physically connected with the control instruments |
may be with pneumatic hoses or electric wiring.
So the trainee has got an additional task to solve. This connecting is eased
in that way that especially for the wiring needs be taken no care with normal
bipolar wiring and polarity. Connecting of pneumatics and electrics feels
equal. The standardisation of the TeLC Miniplants goes so far as the dimensions
height 1.95m and depth 0.65m are equal. Only width differs between 2.2 and
2.9 m and of course weight. Within the abbreviation naming of the units
is indicated the control task and instrumentation so e.g. here FIRCA
means: Flow - Indication
- Registration - Control
- Alarm |
|
Wide range of Training Tasks:
- identification of the process elements and their connection
- put in action and calibration of elements
- connection of the process with the control terminal
- structurizing and configuration of transmitters and
controllers
- running of the process (start & stop )
- study and optimize the control performance by adjusting
the parameters

Built-up of FIRCA:
- This Miniplant contains a complex circuitry using pneumatic and electric
equipment.
- The fluid flow (water) can take 2 possible ways:
- The stronger pump drives the water into the blue pipeline through
the magnetic F/I- transmitter , the controlvalve with positioner
and linear characteristic, the alarm actuator and a rotameter back
into the reservoir.
- The second pump drives water into the red pipeline through an
orifice plate with connected p/p-transmitter and the controlvalve
without positioner but with logarithmic characteristic, a rotameter
and a handvalve for disturbance back into the reservoir.
- The flowlines can be run under constant pressure conditions which
is regulated by the spill valve.
- Both pumps can be connected in parallel to pump into the blue line.
- Corresponding to the pneumatic and electric instrumentation p/I and
I/p signal converters are existing in the field.
- The ratio control is realized with the electronic controler used as
master and the pneumatic one as slave.
- The square root transfer of the pneumatic flow signal is realised
with the electric controller.
- length 2,9 m, weight 195 kg. supply 380 V AC and pressed air.
