Patent Images
1. A computer implemented method for simulating a plurality of networked program logic controllers, the method comprising:
- wherein the computer determines if a configuration of networked program logic controllers exists in a network within a simulation model;
the computer populates a configuration within a simulation model by creating a plurality of program logic controllers in a 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
the computer interacts with at least one of the program logic controllers in the configuration of networked program logic controllers within the simulation model to simulate at least one networked program logic controller.
