Abstract
The disclosure relates to a system and method for integrating a process control system for a technical installation or a technical process into a training simulator, where the training simulator interacts with a virtual PC. The virtual PC stores a piece of software for modelling the technical installation or the technical process and stores a piece of software for modelling the user interface of the process control system. In addition, the virtual PC holds a further piece of software for executing functionalities for the simulation. The virtual PC interacts with the training simulator such that the functionalities for the simulation can be actuated using the training simulator.
