The Engineering Suite demonstrates how a system or a process will behave in real-time and real environments as designed.

Design engineers use the Engineering Suite electronic systems schematics creation to conceptualize, validate and complete their designs of fluid, gas, HVAC, electrical and engineering control systems. This is accomplished by selecting library process or logic parts (pipe, pump, valve, sensor, duct, motor, wire, circuit breaker, controller, AND gate, …) and placing these objects on to system diagrams. Each part brings its own completely encoded first principle physics equations or mathematical characterization on to the system schematics. The engineer has then to only to line up and connect the objects that make up the systems schematics.

More importantly, the engineering design is built around an open architecture concept. Multiple systems schematics involving different disciplines can interact together. Through Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE), Engineering Suite system schematics data can be fed in real-time to Excel spreadsheets (or other DDE compliant software) for tabular and graphical analysis. An Application Programming Interface is available so external local or remote applications developed in C code can interact in real-time with the Engineering Suite system schematics. An OPC server is available with the optional TPTS companion product to interface any third party OPC compliant client or server applications.

The Engineering Suite software then validates that the system components are compatible and then, in just a few moments, compiles the completed system into a run-time environment on the original system schematics. The engineer can turn his system "on", dynamically interact with the process in "real time or faster" and obtain "true life" systems responses, complete with control systems. The engineer can stress test, modify (on the fly) any component of the system to prove that they work under all conditions as part of the analysis and validation process.

If the first design cannot meet the requirements then the systems schematics can be quickly reopened, and object icons parameters reconfigured, added or deleted. Then the validation process is repeated.
