Dec 2014Page 2PD PA AE CHE 4 Simulation Aided Engineering From Single Unlinked Tools to Test & Simulation Knowledge Management TIA-Portal PCS-7 Simulation UnitPLCsim Each of these tools has certain test and/or simulation capabilities, but  The capabilites are not linked to each other  Functionality is fixed and cannot (easily) be extended to customer‘s requirements  No or only limited scalability  No common systematics and methodics  Code is changed in controller for test and simulation purposes  No test knowledge management possible SIMIT One tool for all simulation and test tasks  Graphical project creation (understanding simulation tasks !!!)  Makros, Templates & Components = Put simulation and test knowhow into reusable units = Build up test & simulation „Knowledge Management“  Scripting & Snapshots = Automate test & simulation tasks  Easy exchange of components with newer version (search & replace)  No changes or extension of controller program code  Fully scalable simulation (from signal over sensor/actuator to process) ?

Experienced Engineer IO-Simulation (setting signals and values) Basic actions of actuators and sensors Basic behavior (startup, shutdown, basic operation) Advanced behavior (product change, load change) Basic malfunctions Borderline situations, endangerment Knowledge is in the head of certain people. It is not usable for others. Even experienced engineers have to remember. And they do also forget! What happens to unexperience engineers??? Non comformance costs, unsatisfied customers, bad references
