Do you use Process Automation Control Systems ? For example DCS,
PACS and PLC/SCADA systems
If you use them, specify or design or program them ControlDraw can help
document then and even simulate parts
Do you
produce long technical documents, draw diagrams with Visio
or PowerPoint,
maintain data in spreadsheets, and maybe use a
database too? And do you struggle to keep the documentation up to date when
there are changes. Or do you document the system after you have programmed it
because it is too slow and hard documenting before or as you
go along? There is much a better way!
ControlDraw is an object based process automation modelling system,
for Engineers working with Process Control system. It is also
a database for ISA88 models
ControlDraw is Free for all.
You can use it to generate all the documents and data for the life
cycle of a system. And to improve your design whilst ensuring
consistency and even simulating your module designs.
ControlDraw provides unique integrated
diagram, text and data handling
functions for the design, specification, simulation and
documentation of Process Control Systems. And for the
production of Process Flow Sheets and instrument indexes
ControlDraw has been designed for S88 batch, continuous and
discrete processes and is used by the system integration, engineering and process
industries.......More
With the ControlDraw Reviewer you can View and print the entire diagram and data content of
ControlDraw 2 or ControlDraw 3 models, and export PDF files. You can also run the diagrams
in simulation mode.
It also provides facilities for ControlDraw project clients to quickly navigate a model and to add comments on the diagrams.
You can even run the
model simulations.. With
the reviewer you can also compare two models on screen create detailed compare
reports
You can also use the reviewer to generate Test Sheets
for your project.
The Reviewer and Commenter program is installed when you
install
ControlDraw itself.
Do you want to read the manual, before trying it
out? Look no further than the
ControlDraw Online Manual.
Just surfing? Doing your homework? This site is concerned

You could start on the page for the
Curious Here you will find a short explanation of 'Control Loops'
and links to other Control sites. In particular you can find
out about the process control systems that are used to make
'stuff', such a chemicals, pharmaceuticals and food.
The concept behind Control is that if you can
measure
something in a process and also do something that affects
that process in a predictable way then you should be able to
effect some control. It's called Feedback.
ControlDraw Ltd provide software
tools and consulting services for the design and
documentation of the control systems used in process industries.
