Abstract
A simulation system in particular for a control system which controls a process running in a technical system is provided. The control system has at least one first process environment embodied as a container and which is also designed to simulate the automatic process to be run in the system and includes corresponding interfaces to the guidance system. The simulation system includes, in addition to the first process environment, a second process environment embodied as a container for simulating the hardware of the periphery of the guidance system and a third process environment embodied as a container for simulating the process to be run in the technical system. In another embodiment, all process environments can also be combined to form one process environment. In both variations, the interfaces of the first process environment and the interfaces of the second process environment are practically identical to the interfaces of the third process environment. A method for carrying out a simulation, a corresponding control system, and computer program product are also provided.
