ProSimulatorTM
Introduction
ProSimulatorTM is a high-end simulation based training platform for the plant operators.
ProSimulatorTM provides opportunities to manipulate systems to simulate all possible
emergencies and abnormalities, including plant startup, and emergency shutdown that an
operator has to face, when placed in the actual process plant control room. This ability of
personnel to respond to micro second variations in the parameters of a process plant, ensure
optimal production and absolute safety. ProSimulatorTM offers real-time solutions to real-time
problems. Combining years of operation and simulation experience, we have made possible a
technologically advanced dynamic simulator - the ProSimulator, designed to meet your
training needs for personnel ranging from trainee operators to experienced engineers, all at
an affordable cost.
Simulation is nothing but imitation or duplication of any system. Process Simulation is the
representation of any process (like Crude Refining, Catalytic Cracking, Ammonia Plant, power
Plant etc). Here the plant behavior is simulated by means of a set of mathematical models.
These mathematical models consist of set of algebraic and differential equations. A full-
fledged Operator Training Simulator (OTS) consists of a process model and the required
interfaces. There are primarily two interfaces namely, Instructor Station where the instructor
will be navigating the training program. The next interface will be a DCS look-alike interface,
which is called as the Operator Station, where the Operator/Trainee/User will be interacting
with the model. Generally the model development means the following steps:-
Core Process Model Development By Using Mathematical Models
Instructor Station Configuration
Operator Station Configuration, Which Also Includes the Graphics Development.
The above steps are explained in detail in the manual in the forthcoming chapters.

2. Introduction to Software Package
The ProSimulatorTM package primarily consists of two stations:
Instructor Station
Emulated Operator Stations
These two stations are connected by TCP/IP protocol for data transmission.
ProSimulatorTM Architecture
The components of the ProSimulatorTM architecture is explained in detail in the forthcoming
sections.

d. Glg Environment Settings
Step1:
Install the Toolkit on a 32bit/64bit system.
Step2:
Copy the GLG directory to a 32bit/64bit machine and place it under the
C:\Program Files (x86)\ folder.
Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Glg3.0
Step3:
Define the following environment variables on your desktop
(Using ControlPanel,System,Advanced,EnvironmentVariables).
Click this “Environment Variables” button then following window will open
ProSimulatorTM
Click “New” button “New System Variable” will open then type following procedure

e. How to Un-Install ProSimulator?
1. Select “Uninstall ProSimulator” option from the menu – Start\Program.
2. “Confirm File Delete” message box will be displayed.
Click ‘Yes’ to continue.
Click ‘No’ to cancel the un-installation
3. “Remove Programs from your Computer” window will be displayed with progress of
un-installation of software.
“Remove Shared File?” window will be displayed. Click ‘Yes’ to continue.
4. Click ‘Ok‘
f. Instructor Mapping
Instructor Mapping is to be done in order to notify the Operator stations with the
appropriate IP addresses to connect with the appropriate Instructor Station. Instructor
Mapping is done by using the Instructor Configurator. Certain steps are carried out in
Instructor mapping which is stated below.
1. Open the “[Link]” (Instructor Configurator) in the path: “C:\Program
Files\ProSimulator\Esim\Sys”
ProSimulatorTM
2. Use Login ID as 'SIM' and password 'SIM' to log into the Instructor Configurator
3. Click 'Close' in the “Model Select window” shown above, since Model Selection is not
required for Instructor mapping.
4. Select 'Socket Configuration' from the main menu and select 'Instructor Mapping'
5. After selecting the Instructor Mapping, it will list all the IP Addresses along with the
Computer names of all the terminals connected in the LAN. It may take few minutes
to open the Instructor operator socket mapping window.
ProSimulatorTM
6. In the “Instructor Operator Socket mapping window”.
Select an instructor from the left-side "Instructor List".
1. In the middle grid, choose the corresponding Instructor Host Name
(which includes the IP address).
2. On the right-side grid, check the box for the required Operator Host Name
to map it with the instructor.
3. Click Apply, then OK to save the configuration.
After completing these steps, the network mapping configuration is automatically
updated.
7. Similarly, all the other Instructors can be configured with the operators.
Note: If any IP address is to be added to the list manually other than the ones listed,
then type in an IP Address in the empty box below the option 'Add an IP Address' and
then click “ADD” to add it to the list.
