The control test application shown in this paper demonstrates the usability of Modelica to run comprehensive tests for plant controllers involving large parts of the physical plant and the control system. However it highlights the need for further development; in areas such as: the test system; the discrete part of the models; the Modelica language; Modelica Association standards such as FMI and ModelicaXML and the tool support for these.
