Abstract :
In this paper, we address a generalized method of mapping a control system simulation model to the PLC emulator being tested using model variables and PLC tags under the offline commissioning environment. For this research we created an example system similar to a high speed packaging system described in a previous WSC paper. Implementation experience using Rockwell Software applications is provided.
