Schools can significantly reduce costs associated with maintaining, repairing, or purchasing multiple physical sets of equipment.

for electricity and renewable energy. It includes virtual modules like power supplies, motors, and data acquisition systems.

This module focuses on electrical energy, power generation, and rotating machines.

High-voltage engineering carries inherent risks. The simulator allows students to make mistakes, short-circuit systems, and overload motors without the danger of electrical shocks, fires, or ruined hardware.

Hands-on training is essential for mastering engineering, automation, and telecommunications. However, physical laboratory equipment is often expensive, takes up significant space, and carries safety risks for beginners.

The utility of LabVolt simulators extends beyond basic education into advanced research. In partnership with OPAL-RT, a leader in real-time simulation, LabVolt systems can be integrated with the powerful RT-LAB platform. This setup allows researchers and graduate students to design advanced controls using MATLAB/Simulink and then test and validate them in real-time with actual LabVolt hardware. This connection between high-fidelity simulation and real-time control is invaluable for research in areas like microgrids and power electronics.

In the realm of industrial automation and mechatronics, P-SIM 2000 software enables a Windows-based computer to act as a process simulator when demonstrating Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) operations. It can be used as a stand-alone tool or hardwired to a physical Lab-Volt PLC trainer, allowing students to develop and test control logic for simulated industrial processes before deploying them on real hardware.

Use the mouse to pick up virtual components—like a power supply, motor, or data acquisition module—and place them on the workstation. Wiring: Click and drag wires to connect the modules.

The user interface looks identical to the physical training modules. A student who masters the virtual software can walk up to the physical machine and operate it immediately without a new learning curve.
