Abstract

Based on the successful use of simulation methods such as HIL, SIL and MIL in a variety of industries, the use of  simulation methods for the purpose of virtual  commissioning is also emerging in the field of machine  automation. This article introduces the different methods and describes the possible use cases in machine  automation. It also suggests a simplified selection  approach of simulation method based on the targeted  application during a machine lifecycle phase. Finally, the  capability of the SEW components to be used together with  a HIL-focused hybrid method is examined and confirmed  using an exemplary demonstration machine.
