SIMULATION METHOD FOR SIMULATING A REAL CONTROL FOR AN INDUSTRIAL PROCESS, A SYSTEM, OR A MACHINE, AND SIMULATION SYSTEM FOR CARRYING OUT SUCH A SIMULATION METHOD

摘要

In a simulation method for simulating a real control (2) for an industrial process, a system, or a machine, errors occurring in the course of the simulation are to be ascertained in a simpler manner. According to the invention, this is achieved in that a simulation system (7) stores intermediate states during the simulation process and provides the intermediate states with a time stamp. A stored intermediate state is loaded into the simulation system (7) again at a later point in time, and based thereon, a simulation can be carried out. Thus, simulations must not always start at the beginning of the control program to be simulated.
