Control system simulation system and method

摘要

A non-transitory tangible computer-readable medium may include instructions executable by a processor in a simulation system 30 to perform a simulation. The instructions may include to wait 58 for a plurality of virtual controllers 42 to complete a previous simulation step, write 60 a result of the previous simulation step from each of the plurality of virtual controllers 42 to a shared memory 50, read 64 an input from the memory 50 to each of the plurality of virtual controllers 42, initiate a simulation step on each of the plurality of virtual controllers 42, and upon initiation of the simulation step in each of the plurality of virtual controllers 42, indicate 74 completion of the simulation, in which the plurality of virtual controllers 42 include a controller model having a plurality of simulation steps and the instructions are configured to be executed by the processor in parallel.
