Abstract

To improve the safety and productivity of continuous processes, it is becoming increasingly necessary to have simulators to train operators. This paper describes a real-time simulator developed for this purpose by Yokogawa in cooperation with the Tokyo Gas Company. This simulator - based on the YEWCOM computer - not only trains operators, but also evaluates their proficiency.
