The PipeCoach simulator provides the most detailed simulation for SCADA training purposes. Simulation include both dynamic hydraulic simulation as well as simulation of instrumentation and logic of PLCs. The PLC logic is is customized for each project based on the customers existing control systems.

The application itself is built with a client/server architecture. The client is managed by the trainer who handles the training session including:

• Start, stop, pause simulation
• Prepare and play scenarios
• Manual forcing process values

The client then communicates with the server which provides all simulations. The server is able to read/write values to a duplicate of the SCADA system so that the trainee (e.g. SCADA operator) works with all SCADA mimics as with a real live system.
