Development of a Test Platform for the Automation System DeltaV

This report describes the development of a test platform and a self study course for the process automation system DeltaV. Sandvik started using this process automation system in 2004. In order to educate personnel in the system without having to disrupt any production lines an educational test platform was needed. The test platform that was developed in this project made use of the same production instruments as the actual production process. The test platform consisted of a physical process automated with a control database developed with DeltaV control software. One important aspect to the development was that the platform was designed to be portable. This is still a part that could be improved.
