Advanced System Simulator ASIMA

03 / 2001

The Advanced System Simulator ASIMA developed by ELWE is an advanced version of the System Simulator ASIM which, for many years, has been very reliable and copied several times. The new version sets new standards: The System Simulator ASIMA can be used in combination with all PLC products that are equipped with standard signal levels for digital (24 V DC) and analog (0 ... 10 V DC) inputs and outputs. 33 masks are subdivided into three mask sets, corresponding to the level of the PLC programs that are to be designed, according to the assignments. The range of assignments allows you to study the field of automation without previous knowledge starting with small control circuits and also upmarket solution strategies by using the full scale of functions offered by large programmable logical control systems. The front panel is clearly structured containing the connection panel for the PLC connection, a demonstration panel to hold a mask with a large image of the system and a system-specific labelled control panel. Due to the use of a microprocessor, up to 12 digital inputs and outputs, 2 analog inputs and outputs and 2 potentiometers are clearly assigned to the control panel as well as the sensors and actuators of the system image on the applied mask. Many system simulation processes run automatically due to the microprocessor, so that the system functions can be clearly observed. It also facilitates testing the designed PLC programs. The simulator can be connected to the PLC either practically via individual connection cables and 4-mm safety sockets or alternatively via a flat-ribbon cable and the 50-pin connector without set-up times. 4 relay contacts allow you to connect solenoids for safe control of illustrated actuators as in real applications. All individual switch and sensor functions can be physically selected as a make or break contact with a change-over switch to allow a connection to the PLC which is safe to line breakage as in real applications. A microprocessor-controlled LED strip with 24 segments indicates levels, movements, positions etc. in the connection scheme on the applied mask. 36 red, yellow and green LEDs are assigned to the digital inputs and outputs by the microprocessor according to the selected system on the appropriate mask and indicate the illustrated sensor and actuator states. Analog variables of a system function, such as the unload speed of a silo, the flow rate of a pump or setpoint values can be changed either with the potentiometer on the control panel or with analog signals from the PLC.

The equipment set ASIMA includes the system simulator, a CD with assignments for the masks of the three mask sets and a bag for storing available masks separately. An optional CD (art. no. 52 12 641 09) contains the assignment results for all mask sets or masks in form of a statement list according to IEC 6-1131.
