Abstract
Technologies are provided for a programmable hardware proxy (PHP) for assessment of control logic. A control sequence that controls execution of an automation task within a physical automation system can be accessed to generate a virtual representation of physical control connections among sensor devices and a control device associated with an automation subsystem. The virtual representation constitutes a realistic virtual control interface that can be exposed to the automation subsystem in virtual domain. The virtual control interface can replace the control device in virtual domain, while preserving the functionality of the control device. The virtual control interface constitutes the PHP for the sensors devices and the control device. The PHP can be used to assess control logic for the automation subsystem, without reliance on hardware present in the automation subsystems.
