The mounting complexity of machinery requires more work for their commissioning. At the VDTC, parts of a machine's control systems can be tested on a virtual machine model before the real machine is put into operation.

Industry Seminar on "Developing Control Systems with Functional Simulation: Shortening and Validating Development and Commissioning"
May 29, 2008. The industry seminar is intended to bring together control system developers of, promote discussion of the potentials and requirements of advanced methods and demonstrate them with select examples from the field.
Functional simulation facilitates testing a system’s functions continuously from the concept phase to real commissioning up through ongoing operation. As a result, the engineering can be parallelized throughout the entire development process.

Control system developers are particularly familiar with the problems that arise because control code can often only be developed, implemented and tested on the real system. Extreme time pressure during commissioning and often insufficiently verified code, especially to handle system and operating errors, are the consequence..

Advanced methods of modeling and functional simulation enable already developing control systems parallel to parallel developing the equipment. In the ideal case, thoroughly tested code becomes available even before the equipment has been manufactured. This can drastically reduce the time and risk commissioning entails.
