Abstract
Systems and methods for providing automated input/output (I/O) device emulation for industrial systems. One configuration provides a system including an electronic processor configured to detect a presence of an industrial device of an industrial system. The electronic processor may be configured to detect an incompatibility between the industrial device and a list of industrial devices included in the industrial system. The electronic processor may be configured to reconcile the incompatibility between the industrial device and the list of industrial devices included in the industrial system to set an emulation mode for the industrial device. The electronic processor may be configured to control the industrial device in accordance with the emulation mode such that the industrial device emulates another industrial device included in the list of industrial devices included in the industrial system.
