Abstract: A method and system for simulating the control of a process with a controller. The method creates a virtual process scheme having virtual devices connected on a virtual bus, such as a Fieldbus. The virtual scheme also includes process information. The process scheme is stored in a read/write medium and configured for communication access by a controller. The communication configuration uses an actual bus in bus protocol, such as a Fieldbus protocol. The actual bus couples with the virtual bus to replicate actual “real world” communication across the particular bus protocol. The DCS generates and transmits control communication, such as control commands based on data representing the virtual scheme. The virtual scheme data is dynamically updated with an associated Information Handling System to replicate an actual dynamic process. The seamless communication link coupled with the dynamic virtual scheme data simulates process control for the DCS.
