The simulator includes animation anddebugging to enhance student learning. Data acquisition (DAQ) boards plugged into PCs withsimple external interfaces provide an inexpensive connection between process software andexternal PLCs.

Graphic animation seem to improve students understanding and visualizing of dynamicsproblems.
