Visualization of Control Processes a nd Code Validation

Abstract

The article contains an overview of articles related to the description of control process visualization. It provides short information on how to visualize the production line based on two programming environments: Factory IO and Inventor together with Matlab/Simulink. The analysis of these two environments concerns control of a virtual 3D object from a real PLC. Both virtual production line projects are based on control from the S7-1214 DC/DC/DC controller. Currently, there is a need to validate the program code or control process which has been done using several commercially available programs.
