Description
Summary:Modern automation control design requires new technologies to develop, test and transfer technology from design to real world. One important step in automation design is testing automation algorithms in a simulated environment appropriate by real world. Our scope is to help designers to create a simulated environment for testing automation control. We created an interface and programming tool which help designers to simulate industrial installation and can connect with automation control equipment, using real electrical signals. Our base equipment is an industrial input/output controller, which connects with the computer. On the computer, is defined and runs a simulation environment, using a software tool. This environment communicates with the real world via an input/output controller. Design engineers can create their own simulation environment, using high level programming language (C++.Net, VB.Net or C#.Net) and can connect their software with external controller, using the proposed tool or a set of objects, from the library that might be added to it. This tool is useful for the creation of a simulation environment for industrial installation or subsection of a plant.
