Abstract:
A method for simulating at least one control function of a control device, comprising the steps of:storing a control program code for executing the at least one control function in a first memory area of a memory device, the control device including the memory device, the control program code including at least one control program code module which controls the at least one control function;providing at least one simulation program code module for controlling at least one test function in a second memory area of the memory device;switching at least one switching element from the at least one control program code module to the at least one simulation program code module; andprocessing the control program code, the at least one simulation program code module being executed, via the switched at least one switching element, instead of the at least one control program code module, wherein the control program code and the at least one simulation program code module are performed by an internal processor of the control device.
