This article examines automated control systems for complex technical complexes using the Tracemode software environment, which enables efficient management of industrial processes and the design of control systems. The objective of the study is to identify effective methods for managing complex industrial processes using decentralized and hierarchical control systems. The tasks include management of autonomous local blocks, use of Tracemode 6 for computer-aided design, simulation of industrial signals, and development of students’ practical skills. Using Tracemode 6, students can monitor processes virtually, manage projects remotely, and utilize embedded libraries and ready-made blocks to develop practical skills. The software environment allows the creation of modules for economic and personnel management. Video tutorials, webinars, and online practical sessions provide international access to education. Tracemode engages students in research activities, project integration, and simulation of industrial processes, enhancing hands-on experience. Applying Tracemode improves the training quality for engineering, technical, and economic specialties. Its flexible and modular structure allows students to create integrated projects, control industrial processes, and conduct experiments, bridging theoretical knowledge and practical skills effectively.
