Abstract

An approach of laboratory practices in control of industrial processes with two phases is presented:a virtual plant using Hardware in the Loop Simulation environment and the real plant. For the designingof the environment,a five-stage method is applied: plant selection, definition of requirements, selection, implementation and evaluation of the virtual plant. It is evaluated in an Amatrollevel-flow plant, designing three practicesrealizedon the real environment, the virtual one and both; evaluating the degrees of plant diagrams, instrumentation, control logic, control valve and communications. A score of 77.90% was achieved in the test conducted with the proposed approach, with a margin 10% in relation to individual practices.
