Simcet is a real-time PID control simulator designed for training operators in PID tuning using live simulations and testing environments. It allows users to mimic real plant dynamics, practice tuning without risk, and test skills through randomly generated assessments. The software can be easily installed and offers unique functionalities not available in competing products.

SIMCET PID Tuning Simulator
• SIMCET is a PID Tuning Real-Time Simulator for training.
• You can mimic real PIDs from a DCS/PLC graphic/screen on to a PC and
even match process dynamics precisely.
• Copy JPGs from your DCS/PLC/SCADA, mimic process dynamics and
build a simulation resembling your plant on a SIMCET screen- all in
minutes!
• It is simple, fast, compact, can be downloaded and used in just 10 minutes!
• You can also practice PID tuning on the simulator.
• Additionally, SIMCET can test your PID tuning skills using unique, novel
online real-time tuning tests that are randomly generated.
• Use SIMCET to train new employees faster and better, like never before.

• No other software product from any competitor allows tuning
PIDs in a real-time, real-life control-room environment.
• SIMCET can be quickly installed in just 5 minutes, competitor
products take days!
• SIMCET has a grading and testing system to test PID tuning
skills – functionality not available in any other product.
• SIMCET allows you to build DCS/PLC HMI graphics and
then mimic real-life dynamics matching with the real process,
another unmatched function.

You learn faster since you can run PID simulations in
faster time speed than real life. Very slow loops can be
made to run fast. See results of tuning changes soon
instead of after minutes or hours!

Final Grade Sheet and Annual Testing
• Make all control engineers and DCS/ Instrument Technicians
take Simcet Tests every year.
• Many large corporations require employees to be tested on
various work-related topics.
• Use Simcet to test all PID tuning staff.
• Plant Control Quality Improvements will be quickly noticeable.
• Maintain annual employee records using Grade Sheet.
• Note: tests are randomly generated, so if you take the test
twice, student will be challenged with different tests.
