Software: GA TurWin, engineering tool
TurWin is the standard engineering tool for GEBHARDT Automation control systems and safety systems up to SIL 2. It permits direct hardware access (reading and forcing of I/O signals), hardware and software diagnostics, configuration, programming and testing of controllers.
It also allows process visualisation, data logging, data analysis, communication and process simulation.
Characteristics of TurWin
- Configuration and programming of up to triple redundant control systems
- Hardware and software diagnostics of connected control systems
- Commissioning support with:
- direct reading and forcing of all hardware inputs/outputs
- forcing of every software function block
- online program diagnostics in text and grafic editor
- optimisation of controller parameters while the machine is running
- re-programming while the machine is running
- fast data logging
- alarm management
- visualisation of compressor maps
- support for several communication protocols
- low level communication diagnostics to third-party systems
- One integrated tool for programming, commissioning, normal operation, maintenance, ...
As simulation system running on a PC TurWin may be used to simulate open and closed loop control and to simulate a complete, dynamic processes.
