The following templates provide starting points for projects or training.
The Controller and HMI files can be restored into Designer as applications and used in Emulation and the Simulator profile can be imported into Simulator to provide a working plant simulation with no engineering. The objects and screens can be easily modified in Designer, and the Simulator rules/actions can be easily modified in excel or in the simulator application.
Template 01 – Heating Plant – Configuration 1
Template 01 – Heating Plant – Configuration 01:
This Heating Plant is a small sample application which heats product as it is being transferred from Tank 01 to Tank 02. Product is filled into Tank 01 and out of Tank 02 using separate programs.

The package consists of a Description document, a Controller Model, a HMI, and a Simulator Profile.
There are two HMI applications – one in standard look and one in ISA 101 style. Both are fully configured.
This Model is included in the database for new Accord Installs, and will work, in Simulation, from the time of Accord installation.

Template 02 – Heating Plant – Configuration 02 – Master/Slave Program style:


This Heating Plant is a small sample application which heats product as it is being transferred from Tank 01 to Tank 02. Tank 01 and Tank 02 are individually controlled by Unit programs. The Heating program starts and controls the Tank 01 and Tank 02 programs.
The package consists of a Description document, a Controller Model, a HMI, and a Simulator Profile.
This Model is included in the database for new Accord Installs, and will work, in Simulation, from the time of Accord installation.
