Abstract:

The plant of an industrial process is almost impossible to  established in the lab, and its simulation system can not be quickly developed. For solving this problem,a virtual software platform of an industrial process plant was presented by using configuration software and simulation software. This platform consisted of the foreground interface layer, the middle communication layer, and the background modellayer. The data exchange between the foreground interface and the background model was seamlessly realized. The secondary development rulers were put in form. According to the  rulers, the development of some industrial process plant simulation software could be quickly realized on the basis of the platform program. The virtual plant ofcoal pulverizing systems was developed on the platform, and the availability of the platform was proved.
