Abstract
The translation-based virtual DCS based on Simulink can realize the function of virtualizing the physical DCS. This paper presents a method to virtualize physical DCS by using Simulink to realize the functions of running, freezing, acceleration and deceleration, setting and acquiring variable values, malfunction simulation, snapping and loading initial conditions, etc. Virtual DCS realizes the configuration translation by translating the configuration files of the physical DCS platform to Simulink platform, generating codes by using the configuration, and compiling the codes into algorithm files. The virtual DCS is combined with process model software to form a closed-loop, which simulates the level control system of the steam generator of a megawatt pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant for verification. Effective results have been achieved, which proves that the translation virtual DCS can meet the simulation effect of the simulator.
