Simulation in Honeywell’s Experion

What do you do when you’re ready to test the logic and graphics you’ve built for your project? How can you train operators without exposing your process to unnecessary risk? When does it make sense to use real controller hardware for development and testing, and when should you use simulated controllers and virtual PCs instead? Finally, what are your options for simple loopback testing, slightly more complex simulation, and even the kind of highly realistic simulation that exactly mimics your process? What can you do for free? (Quite a bit, actually). Simulation in Honeywell’s Experion is a broad topic. Let’s break it into pieces, starting with simple I/O simulation.
