Abstract

Taking a look at project costs from a financial point of view; the commissioning times of new industrial systems become more and more important; as they significantly drive the costs. Hence; the reduction of commissioning times is part of current research. Besides the use of simulation and the coupling between hardware and software (Hardware-In-The-Loop-Simulations); Rapid Control Prototyping offers a huge potential to reduce commissioning times. Until now; most of the toolchains use special hardware in combination with commercial simulation software; which leads to some serious drawbacks. In this work; a toolchain for Rapid Control Prototyping using industrial controllers and open source software is presented.
