Abstract

Automated program validation components are provided to facilitate software program development for industrial control systems and processes. In one aspect, a simulation tool is provided for an industrial automation system. The simulation tool includes a transform component that receives one or more program chart components as input and outputs a subset of model components for simulation. A simulation component executes the subset of model components in order to validate the program chart components.
