Page 0 

WinMOD Configurations connect the real and virtual control 

and control system in real-time with the simulated machines 

and plants in WinMOD. 

The available WinMOD Configurations offer practically a 

coupling to all automation systems available on the market. 

For some suppliers of automation systems WinMOD offers 

also multiple solutions for different application conditions. 

For the rational creation of WinMOD simulations the 

engineering data of the AS will increasingly imported directly 

to WinMOD. 

The available WinMOD Configurations are extended for 

additional bus systems and automation systems. 

Technical further developments concerning the engineering 

tools and periphery appliances will be continuously 

integrated in the WinMOD Configurations.

With the AS neutral PROFIBUS DP emulation 

WinMOD is connected to all AS, where the I/O 

periphery is connected over one/several PROFIBUS 

networks in the real project or for the simulation to the 

entire periphery simulation as PROFIBUS periphery 

replaceable, as basis for virtual commissioning. 

The generation of the emulated PROFIBUS networks 

occurs very rational with the integrated PROFIBUS 

editor and/or for selected automation systems via 

structure import. 

The library of the simulated PROFIBUS appliances 

will be generated in the PROFIBUS editor through 

import of the corresponding GSD file. 

Utilizable PROFIBUS Simulation Components: 

PROFIBUS simulation card (PC PCI card) with one 

simulation channel (max. 125 PROFIBUS DP-Slave)

For SIMATIC PLCSIM version V5.4-SP3, PLCSIM has 

multi-instance ability. The WinMOD Configuration 

A750 supports now an additional direct access to the 

periphery address areas, flags, data blocks and the 

multi-instance ability from PLCSIM.

The WinMOD Configuration A 780 was specially 

developed for SIEMENS AS with PROFIBUS-DP and 

PROFINET Master. The WinMOD Configuration 

includes SIEMENS specific emulation functions and 

allows also the coupling of H-Systems and Fail-Safe 

Systems. 

The real I/O-periphery can be simulated completely or 

partially. It is possible to connect one or several AS 

with one or several networks. 

The generation of the emulated PROFIBUS- 

/PROFINET networks is carried out utmost rational by 

structure import of data from the STEP7-hardware 

configuration. 

Suitable PROFIBUS Simulation Components: 

PROFIBUS simulation cards (PC PCI-cards) with one 

simulation channel (max. 125 PROFIBUS DP-Slave) 

PROFIBUS emulator box 

available variants: 

2 / 4 / - channel (125 PROFIBUS DP-Slave) 

Suitable PROFINET Simulation Components:

available variants:

Advantage: 

Connection to the simulation-PC over Ethernet.

Logix Family (ControLogix) 

Page 6 

WinMOD Configuration B110 was specifically 

developed for the simulation of all I/O-tags for 

Rockwell-Controllers. It is a rational and cost-efficient 

solution, since it requires no specific hardware, for the 

simulation of all I/O-tags, as basis for the realization of 

the virtual commissioning. 

An optimal workflow consists of: 

1.Export of the I/O-tag structure from the AS 

development environment (RS Logix 5000). 

2.Direct import to WinMOD with automatic 

generation of the simulated I/O-tag structure and 

linked alias correlations of the PLC program variables. 

This allows a rational and automatic generation of the 

I/O- simulation. 

In the PLC-program, the real I/O-driver has only to be 

deactivated („inhibit“ in RS Logix 5000-dialog). 

Advantages: 

The solution for the I/O-simulation is independent from 

the real planned I/O-periphery (local I/Os, DeviceNet, 

ControlNet, EtherNet/IP). 

Technical requirement is only an EtherNet/IPscanner 

component in all control systems.

For Automation Systems of B&R 

(Bernecker + Rainer): 

- X200 control system 

- APROL process control system 


WinMOD Configuration I300 was specifically 

developed for B&R. It offers a cost-efficient and 

rational solution for the simulation of all B&R-specific 

I/O-systems and requires no specific hardware. 

Page 7 

The system coupling is suitable for all real B&R 

controllers with available B&R-driver „WinIO“, as well 

as for the virtual controller AR000 Automation 

Runtime TM AR000 that is integrated into the B&R 

Automation Studio TM . 

The workflow is highly optimized: 

1.Online import of the I/O-tag structure which is 

obtained directly from the connected B&R-controller. 

2.Direct tag import from the Automation StudioTM (e.g. via clipboard from the IO-mapping table). 

Advantages: 

Only the ,,WinIO“-driver has to be inserted into the ASproject 

in the Automation StudioTM . Afterwards each 

I/O-channel can be locked or unlocked for simulation 

access.

Open coupling with OPC to different control- and

systems, external database, etc. 

Page 8 

The WinMOD Configuration Y500 provides OPCclients 

as WinMOD periphery drivers (OPC-DA, Data 

Access). Every configured OPC-client Y500 driver is 

able to communicate with exactly one OPC-server. 

For the communication with several OPC-servers it is 

possible to configure several OPC-client Y500 drivers 

(requires WinMOD System Software XT). 

The suitability of OPC for coupling automation systems 

for I/O-simulation has to be verified on a case to case 

basis. 

Advantages 

Cost-efficient I/O simulation (via OPC-variables). 

Replacement of real communication connections (for 

example coupling to other control systems or 

components which are not available during testing 

phase). 

Data recording from OPC-variables and open coupling 

to all systems. That means to any kind of external 

application with OPC-server.

INTERBUS G4 emulation 


Page 9 

For all Automation Systems (AS) with INTERBUS- 

Master (INTERBUS G4-standard). 

With the AS neutral INTERBUS emulation WinMOD is 

connected to all AS, where the I/O-periphery in the real 

project is connected with one or several INTERBUS 

networks. 

An optimal workflow for the generation of the 

emulated INTERBUS network is specifically 

developed to the automation system of PHOENIX 

CONTACT. 

The AS program software PC WORX exports special 

XML-data which are used for WinMOD. These XMLdata 

are needed in order to generate automatically 

the simulated INTERBUS structure during the import 

process in WinMOD. Moreover these data are also 

transferred into the connected INTERBUS emulator. 

At the same time all I/O operands which are connected 

with the bus-structure are transferred into the WinMOD 

project. 

For the INTERBUS simulation to several other kinds of 

automation systems with INTERBUS master it is 

possible to develop adapted workflows.

CONTACT with PROFINET-Master. 

Using the specifically developed PROFINET emulation 

WinMOD is connected to automation systems, where 

the periphery of the AS is connected to one or multiple 

PROFINET networks in the real project or for the 

simulation of complete periphery simulation as 

PROFIRNET periphery. 

An optimal workflow for the generation of the 

emulated PROFINET networks is especially 

developed for the automation systems of PHOENIX 

CONTACT. 

The AS-program software PC WORX exports special 

XML-data which are used for WinMOD. These XMLdata 

are used to generate automatically the 

simulated PROFINET structure during the import 

process in WinMOD. 

At the same time all I/O-operands which are connected 

with the bus-structure are transferred into the WinMOD 

project (export-/import process currently under 

development). 

3 variants (licensable): 

- cyclic IO device emulation (max. 254) 

- additonal safty layer emulation (saftey devices) 

-addinitional acyclic data transfer 

The PROFINET emulation is carried out with a special 

developed Windows kernel-application. Suitable 

Ethernet-network hardware (mostly standard-Ethernetnetwork 

cards) need the approval by Mewes & 

Partner.
