Maintenance Training System (MTS)
Off-Line EMCS simulation solution
Oil & Gas companies are looking for efficient solutions that help to ensure the
continuity of their production with minimized cost and productivity impact during their
maintenance activities.
Maintenance Training System (MTS) is the Schneider Electric solution through which
the engineer can learn and train to handle Energy Management & Control System
(EMCS) IEDs capabilities.
PACiS EMCS is the Schneider Electric solution that brings to your plant
high level of electrical energy reliability and availability. That’s why
delivering maintenance service with minimum impact in the EMCS overall
performance is essential.
MTS is the simulation solution designed by Schneider Electric to train field
engineers and prepare them for safe and accurate operations in the actual
electrical network.
MTS software application allows hands-on-training with real IEDs identical
to the plant’s ones. Therefore, the engineers can get experience and
expertise prior to manipulations in real installations.
With MTS, maintenace operations can be better scheduled as well as
downtimes reduced, resulting in greater efficiency and significant cost- Customer benefits
savings. CAPEX optimization
• Equipment maintenance knowledge
MTS features
• Increased safety and reduced risk
MTS simulates real EMCS platform using actual devices that can be
stimulated by hardware means. MTS recreates advanced functionalities • Lower maintenance cost
like Fast Load Shedding (FLS), Power Management System (PMS), • Minimized field engineer mistakes
Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) for verification and validation tests. • Limited turnaround time impact in
plant upgrades or downtimes
HARDSIM is the MTS tool developed to simulate hardwired signals on
real devices. It helps the engineer define and test valid corrections before OPEX savings
going into plant.
• Engineer skills enhanced with full
User friendly and easy customizable HMI enables the MTS trainer to
knowledge of EMCS capabilities
create new simulated situations or scheduled scenarios.
• Faster and efficient test
MTS solution & maintenance
• Simulates the electrical network & system communication network • Shorter or eliminated production
• Communicates with real IEDs downtimes
• Allows IEDs settings and firmware updates • Minimized field engineer turnover
impact
• Emulates missing EMCS IEDs/components
• Records operator activity • Problem analysis
• Verifies patch management • Evolution testing and corrections
• Prevents system regressions
