Abstract
A cloud-based digital twin modeling and testing system is capable of hosting multiple applications that can be used to simulate and test versions of a control design prior to deployment, including but not limited to control programming applications, controller emulation applications, machine simulation applications, or other such platforms. The digital twin modeling environment renders an interface display that allows a user to easily build a testable digital model of a control system by connecting components of a proposed control project to these applications. The system also allows the user to define inputs and test scenarios to be executed as a simulation. Based on the connections, inputs, and test scenarios defined by the user, the modeling system leverages the hosted applications as needed to execute the defined test scenarios and generate predicted metrics for the proposed control system design.
