To provide training centers andstudents with a fast and effectiveinstructional tool, Lab-Volt has cre-ated a series of Windows-basedsimulation software programs(LVSIM) that cover the samematerial and produce the sameresults as actual laboratory equip-ment. The Lab-Volt Hydraulics andPneumatics training systems,Models 6080-1/2 and 6081-1/2, arealso available as simulation soft-ware programs through theLVSIM trademark.

LVSIM-HYD (Model 6385)and LVSIM-PNEU (Model 6485)cover the same courseware as thestandard programs, but standardlaboratory equipment is replacedby computer-screen images thatfully simulate the mechanical char-acteristics of the actual hydraulic andpneumatic modules. Using the mouse,students can select and set up virtualequipment for a given exercise, make thenecessary connections between the sim-ulated modules, and obtain the sameresults as with the real equipment.

Used either as a complement to theactual laboratory equipment or as astand-alone product, LVSIM is a cost-effective tool that enables students tosafely and accurately perform experi-ments and become familiar with theequipment configuration and laboratorysetup before they enter the lab. As aresult, their time spent in duplicatinghands-on tasks in the actual laboratorymay be reduced significantly, resulting inthe need for less physical hardware perstudent. With these cost-saving features,institutions with tight budgets can deliv-er a quality program in hydraulics andpneumatics with limited investment.

An additional advantage to LVSIM isits protected portability. Students caninstall the software onto their own per-sonal computers in order to practice andprepare in advance for their lab exercises,but measurement capability is restrictedby means of a security hardlock device.

MULTI-PROCESS STATIONModel 3505

The Multi-Process Station, Model 3505, consists of aPlexiglas cylinder, an inner column for dual volumeprocess characteristic, a pump, a diaphragm-actuatedcontrol valve, two pipe-mounted differential pressure (D/P)transmitters, and a current-to-pressure (I/P) converter. Amicroprocessor-based controller, a variable frequency ACdrive, a dual-pen strip chart recorder, and two alarm lampsare also mounted on the main panel. A regulator needlevalve controls air flow to a bubbler pipe for level measure-ment.

In addition, at the base of the level column are twovalve taps that permit connection of the D/P cell or option-al manometers. A low-pressure gauge and a compound-pressure gauge are mounted on the side of the controlcabinet. A pressure cap on the level process tank permitslevel control of a pressurized vessel. Two headers allowinsertion of flow measurement devices on both the inflowand the outflow of the level process tank. The stationincludes a rotameter flow indicator in series with theprocess piping, and a Venturi flow-element.

Coupling unions allow the Multi-Process Station to bedirectly coupled to other stations to achieve moreadvanced interactive control loops such as temperature,pH, and ratio control. Pressure taps are provided on thesystem piping to permit measurement of pressure dropsaround the system and to thoroughly evaluate system per-formance.
