WinFACT is an easy to use, modular program system. It provides tools for analysis, synthesis and simulation of conventional control systems. On the other hand it provides components for the treatment of fuzzy systems and neural networks.
The graphical user interface under Windows guarantees an extremely low training effort and at the same time a high ease of use. Thus WinFACT in the LD DIDACTIC Edition is particularly suitable for educatonal purposes.
WinFACT offers a variety of program interfaces and data formats and enables communication with a wide range of peripheral devices, external processes and user's own software products and third-party software. The LD DIDACTIC Edition exclusively offers additionally the easy connection to the measuring systems "Sensor CASSY" and "Profi CASSY" for integration into experiments in measurement engineering, communication engineering, control engineering and automation technology.
The core of the program system WinFACT is the block-oriented simulation system BORIS. In different configurations of the LD DIDACTIC the CASSY system is used to be applied as PID controller, as fuzzy controller, as (fuzzy) adapted or also as universal line simulator without the need for additional software like compilers, monitor programs or similar. Likewise, complex SCADA systems can be easily set up with WinFACT and tested and extended step by step.
For many LD DIDACTIC experiments in control engineering, WinFACT offers support in all phases of controller design, starting with modeling, analysis of the controlled system, controller design and closed loop simulation. WinFACT consists of a compilation of individual, in principle independent and arbitrarily combinable program modules, between which data can be transferred very easily via different communication channels.
