Built a free interactive DeltaV learning resource — couldn't find one so made my own. I hope its useful

Hi all,

Was trying to learn DeltaV properly for biopharma and couldn't find any decent interactive resources. Ended up building one myself.

It covers:

  • DeltaV architecture (Purdue model, controllers, historian)
  • S88 batch recipes with an interactive recipe tree
  • Live PID sandbox — tune, disturb, and recover a bioreactor temperature loop
  • Control Studio function blocks (AI, PID, AO, ALM)
  • HMI design (ISA 101, high-performance displays)
  • Alarm management — floods, shelving, eclipsing
  • CSV/CSA validation workflows, V-Model, OQ execution
  • Capstone: Validation Digital Twin

20 modules, free, open source, runs in the browser.

Hopefully useful for anyone to grips with DCS in a GMP environment. Feedback welcome!

Is this MCS ? I’m a process tech i’m assuming this is for more advanced stuff ? Although i would like to learn more on mcs.

My attempt here was to show a macro view of a DCS system and dive in to how different functions within a facility would interact with it. Doesn't cover the production side of things though. I thought about it but it would have added infinite complexity to the project. This more looks the system through a Quality, Validation, Engineering, Automation lens
