Abstract:
Systems and methods for simulating dynamic feedback control systems that include establishing a connection via a common access to a shared memory between the control system logic of a controller to be emulated and a simulation model. State data from a previous simulation associated with the control system logic and the simulation model is retrieved from memory to initialize another simulation run. The state data associated with the simulation model and the control system logic are then synchronized with a timing and control mechanism and a simulation of the controller is executed. A graphical user interface may also be provided to allow a user to adjust the simulation settings and establish new connections with input/output components to be utilized in simulation.
