Abstract
Automation technology facilities are used for automating industrial processes such as the control of conveyor belts. A high-level control device with a logical model of the plant stored in the control device is disclosed. Simulation models and control programs are generated by the control device. The generated control programs have special data blocks which contain the parameters that are to be optimized by the simulation. The generated simulation models generate the parameters as result values of the simulation evaluation algorithms and supply the values in an automated manner to the special data blocks of the generated control programs.

A system for simulating an automated industrial plant, comprising:
- a high-level control device storing a logical model of the automated industrial plant;
- a simulation program;
- and
- a control program,
- wherein the high-level control device generates simulation models from the model, the simulations models being an integral part of the simulation program,
- wherein the high-level control device generates the control program from the model, the control program having special data blocks containing parameters that are to be optimized by a simulation,
- wherein the simulation models generate parameters as result values of simulation evaluation algorithms and supply the result values of the simulation evaluation algorithms to the special data blocks of the generated control program.
