Dec 2014 – Simulation Workshop Praha Virtual Commissioning with SIMIT Simulation Framework Benefits of Simulation in the Engineering Workflow

Virtual Commissioning Software commissioning reduced max. 20-30% Use Cases Virtual Commissioning (Only) Placement in the Workflow Provement of functionality to customer Easier approval from customer (Too) late usage of simulation Implemented in „time pressure phase“ Experience of early tests not implemented Model has no time to grow Danger to implement only a few well known scenarios Usage of modified/additional code in controller in early phases (quality problem!) Often only implemented to pass Factory Acceptance Test No big advantages in duration, costs and quality Virtual Commissioning Software commissioning reduced max. 20-30% No big benefits in engineering Engineering FAT Commissioning SAT Operation FAT = Factory Acceptance Test SAT = Site Acceptance Test

Use Case Simulation Aided Engineering Implement a Test & Simulation Strategy From the Beginning Easy creation of test functionality from the beginning Smooth increasing of simulation functionality (signals, sensors/actuators, process) No change of automation software. Simulation code is safely removed by disconneting simulation system. Less costs than programming of FBs. Model has time to grow to cover the complete software and all scenarios. Each sub branch of automation engineering can immediately be implemented in simulation. Synergies with growing macro, templates and components library. Test for FAT and SAT are automatically results of test and simulation strategy. High benefits in shorter duration, less costs and high quality. Simulation Aided Engineering No Non Conformance Costs No Crisis Projects Less Guarantee Cases Satisfied Customers Early and comfortable detection of software failures = reduced engineering duration by 10-20% Virtual Commissioning Software commissioning reduced typically 50-80% Engineering FAT Commissioning SAT Operation FAT = Factory Acceptance Test SAT = Site Acceptance Test

Use Case Simulation Aided Operator Training Additional Possibilities Easy creation of first operator training systems from simulation based engineering system. Training of operators before start of operation. Training of even critical situations without risk. Training even in smallest available time slots like e.g. system maintenance. Find out, optimize and train best/reference operation cases. Validate and certify operators. Actively drive, experience and store operator knowledge management. Stepwise extension into a „full-blown“ OTS.

Simulation Aided Engineering A Lot of Benefits Makes Engineering Easier High quality software Early detection of failures Short correction loops Easy proof of functionality Getting approval from customer Short commissioning Early production start Short startup phase Get final approval Customer satisfaction Better support Less support Less NCC Quick generation of signals & response Save/Load any start situation of any szenario Commissioning support from office Debbuging and failure fixing without plant Development system on site wihich needs no space Full support of customer configuration Testinterface for User FBs Debugging of software Replay any sequence of signals Basic operator training Proof of critical cases Offsite failure fixing Sensor & Actuator Behavior Process Behavior Save & reload any situation Proof of total functionality Continuing engineering Engineering FAT Commissioning ** SAT Operation ** FAT = Factory Acceptance Test SAT = Site Acceptance Test NCC = Non conformance Costs ** = with Emulation Platform
