FSIM PLUS

FSIM Plus is a “Virtual Simulation” of the Foxboro I/A Series control processor combined with modeling capability from DYNSIM. FSIM Plus supports I/A Series block algorithms, including those that execute in I/A Series CPs, Device Integrators, and PLC Integrators. FSIM Plus fully incorporates I/A Series ladder logic, sequence of events (SOE), and motor drive actuator (MDACT), which all normally execute in the FBMs. FSIM Plus also accepts I/A Series control configuration downloads (Save-all's).

All Dynamic Simulation Suite (DSS) products including FSIM Plus include the DSS graphical user interface (GUI), the simulation executive, and equipment modeling capability. A single GUI is used for model building and instructor operations. FSIM Plus provides a subset of the DYNSIM equipment modeling library.

FSIM Plus is delivered with a turnkey OTS from Invensys or for use by I/A Series users for DCS control checkout.

Key Benefits

Dramatically reduces time to commission and start a Foxboro I/A Series control system
Helps control application engineers design superior quality into real-time control software without the need for CPs, FBMs or the I/A Series Nodebus hardware
Allows accurate analysis and troubleshooting of I/A Series control logic response and performance
Enables superior operator training in a completely non-destructive environment
Provides the ideal retrofit/upgrade design environment for control engineers
Optional Simulator Bridge module allows easy integration with any simulation and modeling package through a standard programming interface

Key Capabilities
