Combined Cycle Simulator

The combined cycle simulator runs on the 3KeyMaster software developed by Curtiss Wright. This page should be expanded with pictures when the combined cycle plugin is further developed.

The action types, accomplishment criteria, and checks will also be drastically expanded.

Action Types

Decreased: Decreasing a numeric value on a valve.

• ValveName: The name of the valve.
• Setting: The setting that was changed. Setpoint, Bias, or Output.
• OldValue: The value from before the change.
• NewValue: The value after the change.

Disabled: Disabling a boolean setting on a valve, pump, fan, or complex system.

• SystemType: Valve, Pump, Fan, or MultiSystem.
• SystemName: Name of the adjusted system.
• Setting: Setting that was disabled. Can be Active or Auto.

Enabled: Enabling a boolean setting on a valve, pump, fan, or complex system.

• SystemType: Valve, Pump, Fan, or MultiSystem.
• SystemName: Name of the adjusted system.
• Setting: Setting that was enabled. Can be Active or Auto.

FailedValveChange: Updating a numeric value on a valve, but it fails in some way.

• Direction: Increased, Decreased, or Unchanged. The direction of the resulting change.
• ValveName: The name of the valve.
• Setting: The setting that was changed. Setpoint, Bias, or Output.
• OldValue: The value from before the change.
• NewValue: The value after the change.
• AttemptedValue: The value the trainee was trying to change it to.
• FailureReason: Why the valve change failed. AboveMax, BelowMin, or Managed if the setting is Output and the valve is in auto.

Note: FailedValveChange actions will also be converted to and re-scored as their corresponding Increased/Decreased/Unchanged actions.

Increased: Increasing a numeric value on a valve.

• ValveName: The name of the valve.
• Setting: The setting that was changed. Setpoint, Bias, or Output.
• OldValue: The value from before the change.
• NewValue: The value after the change.

Accomplishment Criteria

SystemAction: A manual action on a system.

• Type: The type of system that was modified.
• System: The name of the system.
• Setting: The system setting that was targeted. Active or Auto.
• ActionType: Enabled or Disabled

ValveAction: A manual action on a valve.

• Valve: The name of the valve
• Setting: The valve setting that was targeted
• ActionType: Increased, Decreased, Unchanged, Enabled, Disabled

Check Targets

FanStatus: Whether or not a fan is enabled.

<fan_name>: Fired with 1 or 0 when a fan is enabled or disabled, either manually or automatically.

PumpStatus: Whether or not a pump is enabled.

<pump_name>: Fired with 1 or 0 when a pump is enabled or disabled, either manually or automatically.

Temperature: Some temperature level, tracked in degrees Fahrenheit.

<monitor_name>: Fired with watched temperature name when it changes.

ValveBias: Bias of a pressure valve.

<valve_name>: Fired with valve bias when it changes.

ValveOutput: Output or openness percentage of a valve.

<valve_name>: Fired with output level when a valve's output is modified, either manually or automatically. For toggled valves, value will be either 100 or 0.

ValveSetpoint: Flow rate setpoint of a valve.

<valve_name>: Fired with valve setpoint when it changes.

WaterLevel: Some water level, tracked in inches.

<monitor_name>: Fired with watched water level name when it changes.
