Virtual Commissioning Technology offers the user to do commissioning of the devices in advance. The user can verify variable data exchange between different devices and run those in simulation. The user need to create system model which represents physical system for commissioning.

Virtual Commissioning Technology supports AC500 V2 PLC, ACS380 Drive and ACS580 Drive. To work with this feature, apart from essential license, the user need to enable Virtual Mode (“Online  Virtual Mode”).

Drive parameterization is required to start data exchange between virtual drive and virtual PLC. For information on drive parameterization, see PROFIBUS and PROFINET manuals.
