Abstract
A method and a device for simulating an automation system are disclosed. The aim of the invention is to allow an automation system to be simulated in such a way that simulation components operating at very different computing speeds can be combined into an overall simulation. Said aim is achieved by a method comprising a control component that can be clocked using an external timing source and at least one simulation component which can be clocked using an external timing source. A coordinated clock system is provided for the control component and the at least one simulation component by means of a control component-independent timing coordinator.
