HVAC simulation · Controller testing

Test your controls before commissioning.

Build an editable HVAC plant, connect your PLC over Modbus TCP or RTU, and test normal operation, faults, and recovery with recorded evidence.

From simulation to evidence

Give every control decision a test.

Model your plant

Compose equipment, water loops, I/O, and editable Signal Logic around the system you need to test.

Connect your controller

Exchange real Modbus commands and simulated feedback with external PLCs through configurable endpoints.

Measure the response

Run timed Plant Tests, inspect recorded outcomes, and retain the evidence needed to explain a deviation.

Alarm / Fault Injection

Test what happens when something fails.

Challenge protection and recovery with targeted disturbances. Observe the response, check timing, and keep the evidence.

Test runs saved fault scenarios in prepared projects. Creating or editing scenarios requires Engineering, or Starter for learning and evaluation.

Next Step

Take the system model into your controller test.

Explore the product, follow the engineering documentation, or request the Windows installer for an evaluation environment.
