    The document describes a set of Process Control Modules software that were developed for use in process dynamics and control engineering courses. The modules provide virtual experiments with realistic simulations of different chemical processes and control systems. They cover a range of topics from basic single-input single-output systems to more advanced multi-variable control problems.

    E.3. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE


    REQUIREMENTS
    The Process Control Modules are a set of MATLAB/
    Simulink routines that require either a full license or the
    Student Version of MATLAB and Simulink. The current
    version of the modules has been tested with version
    2007a of MATLAB and Simulink. The minimum recom-
    mended system configuration is a Windows (XP or Vista)
    PC with 1 GB RAM.

    E.4. INSTALLATION
    The Process Control Modules (PCM) software can be
    downloaded from www.wiley.com/college/seborg onto
    the user’s computer. Then double-click on the PCM
    file, and follow the instructions on the installer to install
    the software. Note that MATLAB should be installed
    in order to use these modules. During the installation,
    users can create a shortcut icon to the software on their
    desktop (recommended).
    Figure E.1 PCM main interface.
    E.5. RUNNING THE SOFTWARE
    There are two ways to execute the software: the first is to
    double-click the PCM button on the desktop, which
    launches MATLAB and the PCM interface (Figure H.1),
    and the other way is to open MATLAB manually and to The Web site for this textbook contains a more
    call the PCM software by pointing to the PCM installa- detailed tutorial on PCM, including case studies for the
    tion folder and typing “PCM”, followed by the Enter key. furnace and distillation column modules.
