Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a computer-implemented method for facilitating control system testing, and interfacing with an external dynamic process model by means of a test and simulation tool,the control system comprising a plurality of control module aspect types, each control module aspect type being one of a control module type and a field device signal type, wherein the method comprises: c) receiving, via an I / O port of the test and simulation tool, control module aspect type data from a control module aspect type of the control system, d) converting the control module aspect typedata to simplified control module aspect type data based on the control module aspect type, e) providing the simplified control module aspect type data to a simplified general control module aspect type, the simplified general control module aspect type being a simplified representation of the control module aspect type, and f) performing a feedback simulation using the simplified general controlmodule aspect type and the simplified control module aspect type data, or g) sending the simplified control module aspect type data from the test and simulation tool to the external dynamic process model.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to process control, and more particularly to aspects of testing and simulation of control systems. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, control system software / logic has been tested in a fairly standardized fashion, such as using an operator's HMI and a physical test rack with light fixtures, switches and potentiometers hardwired to the hardware controller. [0003] Today, testing of control system software has moved to software-based platforms, where the control system is taken offline without controller hardware. The tester can stimulate and verify control through a software application and / or through the use of a dynamic process model that can stimulate feedback. [0004] Feedback loops are needed to provide automatic responses back to the control system when testing and simulating. Feedback simulation can be added in the control logic code. For this, feedback simulation tools may exist for specifi...
