Emulation for Logic Validation also referred to as virtual commissioning. This process involves replicating the behavior of one or more pieces of hardware with a software environment (typically for a system under design). The goal of the emulation engineer is to create an environment that mimics the real automation hardware. The ultimate goal of emulation is to provide an environment for the manufacturing automation controls engineer to validate their PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) ladder logic and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) files prior to system debug in the plant environment therefore improving quality and enabling a seamless transition from the virtual to physical environment. Another benefit is to deliver plant maintenance operators and machine conductors with realistic virtual environments for training themselves in safe and optimum conditions.

Famous quotes containing the words emulation and/or logic:
“Our children will not survive our habits of thinking, our failures of the spirit, our wreck of the universe into which we bring new life as blithely as we do. Mostly, our children will resemble our own misery and spite and anger, because we give them no choice about it. In the name of motherhood and fatherhood and education and good manners, we threaten and suffocate and bind and ensnare and bribe and trick children into wholesale emulation of our ways.”
—June Jordan (b. 1939)
“Logic is not a body of doctrine, but a mirror-image of the world. Logic is transcendental.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
