Developer’s Description

Maintain the process of industrial automation objects being automated with Siemens Simatic PLCs and HMI.
Virtual Automation Suite is a software set designed to help with the process of prototyping, development, debug and maintenance of industrial automation objects being automated with SIEMENS SIMATIC PLCs and HMI. The goal is to create a fully functional virtual model of an object being automated, connectable to virtual PLC and HMI, all placed on a single or several PCs with no use of real equipment at all. Virtual Automation Suite should be considered as an add-on software for following third-party software products: MATLAB Simulink - graphical simulation and model-based design software S7-PLCSIM - virtual SIEMENS PLC software WinCC flexible Runtime - virtual SIEMENS HMI software. Virtual Automation Suite comprises: RTsync Blockset - MATLAB Simulink library to perform model's real-time simulation without any additional components PLCSIM Blockset - MATLAB Simulink library to connect real-time models to virtual SIEMENS PLC S7-300/S7-400 SimPanel - Multifunctional industrial control panel designer/emulator PLCSIM OPC Server - OPC DA Server for virtual SIEMENS PLC (programmable logic controller) S7-300/S7-400
