Abstract
A method for engineering an automation system that is usually tested before being put into operation, wherein a 'twin' or a virtual component is generated and loaded onto a server for each real component to perform the function of the real components in a simulated manner in place of said real components, such that it is thus possible for a user to replace various real components with virtual components during the engineering process and to check or simulate the function of the automation system, where it becomes possible to perform a synchronous optimization of automation systems or to put automation programs and system displays into operation in a coexistent, safe, flexible, and incremental manner.
