Algoma – Arc Furnace

Controllab, in collaboration with Bluf Amsterdam, developed a trainig simulator for Algoma in Canada to the SteelSim VR platform.

Steel cranes operate in a dangerous environment, 24 hours per day. If you want to improve the software that is running these cranes, you have to be confident that the software will work first-time-right. Hardware-in-the-Loop simulation is a technology that will help you to get this confidence. For HIL simulation, a simulation model of the crane is coupled this to a PLC with the crane control software. This allows you to test the control software for every possible scenario. When the software fails, there is no harm. You simply improve the code and run a new simulation.
