The complete unit includes as well:

• Advanced Real-Time SCADA and PID Control.
• Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
• Specialized EDIBON Control Software based on LabVIEW.
• CTS. Computer and touch screen control.
• Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
• Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
• Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
• Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for EDIBON technical support, are always included.
• Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic and Software).
• Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
• Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams, calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user’s knowledge and progress reached.
• This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is the EDIBON Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously operate many units in a network.
