    Abstract: Systems (200, 230, 240) and methods (700) for controlling a simulation of an operation of a Fieldbus system (100) comprising at least one FIM (114, 116) communicatively coupled to field devices (122, 124). The methods involve initiating a current simulation (CS) of an operation of the FIM and/or field devices. The methods also involve obtaining intermediate simulation information (ISI) indicating a status/progress of CS. The methods further involve displaying ISI to a user of a simulation system and displaying visual elements (610, . . . , 620) for controlling the progress of CS to the user. Gantt charts (672, 674) for the FIM/field devices and visual content showing data exchanges between software elements and/or hardware elements of the simulation system can further be displayed to the user. The visual elements can facilitate speeding up CS, slowing down CS, moving the progress of CS backwards/forwards, and/or stopping/re-starting the CS.

    Abstract: An auto-tuner is adapted to be used in a distributed process control network having a communications network that communicatively couples a process controller, which executes a process control routine, and one or more process devices used in a process control loop. The auto-tuner includes a first tuning element configured to cause a control entity to force the process loop to undergo an auto-tuning procedure and a tuning data stack operating within one of the process devices to receive and store a tuning signal associated with the control entity along with a time stamp indicating the time the tuning signal was acted on by the device. A measurement data stack is disposed in the same or a different process device and operates to receive and store a response or measurement signal generated by the process device along with a time stamp indicating when the response signal was generated or detected. A second tuning element which may be, for example, in a controller or a workstation, periodically receives data from the tuning data stack and the measurement data stack and determines a tuning parameter to be used in tuning the process loop.
