First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for simulating a plurality of networked program logic controllers, the method comprising:
- determining if a configuration of networked program logic controllers exists in a network;
populating a configuration by creating a plurality of program logic controllers in the network if the configuration does not exist, the populating of program logic controllers provided by use of a network view for collecting network information; and
interacting with at least one of the program logic controllers to simulate at least one networked program logic controller.

Abstract
A system and method for simulating a plurality of networked program logic controllers includes, in one aspect of the invention, determining if a configuration of networked program logic controllers exists; populating a configuration by creating a plurality of program logic controllers in a network if the configuration does not exist, the populating of the program logic controllers provided by use of a network view for collecting network information; and interacting with at least one of the program logic controllers to simulate a networked program logic controller.
