Virtual commissioning and operator training with SIMIT

Clever combination: Testing and training of automation projects

Bringing products to the market faster while maintaining high quality requires integrated engineering workflows along with short changeover and start-up times. SIMIT Simulation Platform allows for comprehensive testing of automation applications and provides a realistic training environment for operators – even prior to plant startup. SIMIT creates opportunities for process optimization and know-how retention, leading to reduced commissioning time and significantly shortened time-to-market. The end result: greater efficiency throughout the entire life cycle of your manufacturing or process plant.

SIMIT Simulation Platform

SIMIT Simulation Platform

Simulation-based engineering from virtual commissioning to operator training.

SIMIT Virtual Controller

Testing and training performed in a completely virtual environment

SIMIT Virtual Controllers can be used to implement test and training systems of any size without using real hardware. When using the virtual controller, you are not required to make any changes in the automation program. Signals from the Virtual Controller I/Os are exchanged over the Virtual Controller coupling with the simulation models.

SIMIT Unit

Hardware platform for real-time simulation via PROFIBUS and PROFINET

The SIMIT Unit hardware interface is completely integrated into the SIMIT portfolio and can be operated via a common user interface. Switching between hardware- and software-in-the-loop can be accomplished with only a few steps. The connection to a real controller is possible via PROFIBUS, PROFINET, PRODAVE and OPC.

SIMIT Simulation Platform

Real-time simulation – a foundation for your digitalization strategy

SIMIT enables comprehensive testing of automation projects as well as the virtual commissioning of systems, machines, and processes on a single platform. The simulation platform also provides realistic training environments in which to train operating personnel.
