Short description
The standard provides a clear and systematic definition of virtual commissioning (VIBN) and classifies it in the life cycle of an automated plant or machine. Since VIBN has gained practical importance since the last issue of this standard and has now become established in almost all areas of automation technology, the standard has been revised and supplemented, particularly with regard to the representations of the basic test configurations, the test methods, the types of models required for this and simulation configurations in VIBN. The standard is addressed to the group of people directly and indirectly in contact with VIBN: commissioning engineers, decision-makers on the use of VIBN, technical sales engineers, production and plant planners, automation engineers, software developers and electrical planners.
