Process Simulation with Control Components

Depending on the supported profile, a control component may specify an additional execution mode for process simulation (SIMULATE). When a control component is in simulation mode, it is expected to behave towards the controlling production process as if it were in automatic mode. However, requested operation modes from a production process neither have an effect on the physical asset nor on the physical product being build.

The simulation mode can thus be exploited during engineering for the virtual commissioning of a (changed) production process. A mixed operation of real and simulated components is in principle also possible, if one is able to establish the physical post-conditions of a simulated process step by other means, so that a subsequent real process step can be performed as expected.

A control component that does not support simulation can be surrogated by a pure virtual control component that mimic the input/output behavior of the actual component to a neccessary extend.
