A realistic function test of the STEP 7 TIA Portal program allows early fault detection and validation of functionality:
High quality of the automation project at a very early point in time
Shortening of commissioning time at the customer plant
Reduction in time-to-production
Early operator training possible using virtual controllers and a connected HMI device or HMI simulation.
The virtual process of the plant/machine facilitates increased efficiency thanks to optimization of program parts und quick replacement of machine components (migration), and easy enhancement of existing plants.
