Patent number: 8069021Abstract: System(s) and method(s) facilitate a distributed simulation of an industrial control system. A model of the industrial control system is generated and computing resources are scheduled for simulating portions of a simulation according to the model. Computing resources are scheduled to mitigate computational bottlenecks in the simulation and synchronize portions of the simulation deployed in disparate computing resources. Sub-processes of a control process can be simulated in dedicated computing resources as a part of a distributed simulation of the control process. Execution time of one or more portions of a distributed simulation can be increased or slowed down to synchronize said portions.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2007Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Rockwell Automation Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David Thayer Sturrock, Glenn Richardson Drake, Cory R. Crooks, A. David Takus, Mark Anson Glavach, Genevieve O'Neill Kolt, Frank Anthony Palmieri, Jr.

Publication number: 20090089029Abstract: Systems and methods are provided to facilitate simulation(s) of components of an industrial control system. Simulation(s) execution time can be decreased by conducting the simulation in a parallel computing platform, and coupling the simulation with an optimization component that restructures the simulation code. Such automated reconfiguration removes inhibitors for parallelism, resulting in optimized code to execute the simulation, with the ensuing reduction in execution time. Execution time can also be reduced by applying an adaptive time step during state propagations that are part of the simulation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2007Publication date: April 2, 2009Applicant: ROCKWELL AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: David Thayer Sturrock, Glenn Richardson Drake, Cory R.
