ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for simulating a complex system includes controller means having a sequence of instructions executed by the controller means for providing digital signals representative of a selected state and location of at least one of a plurality of indicators devices, in accordance with a software model of a system being simulated, and for receiving digital signals representative of an occurence and value of rotational motion, for receiving digital signals corresponding to an occurence of making and breaking of a signal path, and for processing said receive signals in accordance with a predetermined sequence of instructions corresponding to the model of the system simulated by the apparatus. The apparatus further includes a mock-up of the system being simulated, including a control panel corresponding substantially to the actual system having disposed thereon switches, indicator lights, and rotational motion devices, such as joy sticks, potentiometers, track balls, and the like. The apparatus further includes a simulation control means including means for interfacing the simulation control means to the system mock-up by formatting messages to the controller means to indicate to the controller status of controlled devices on the system mock-up and by receiving messages from the controller means to provide signals to control devices on the system mock-up.
