Purpose: Possibilities of state-of-the-art information and automation systems in the process of construction and testing the machine’s control system are the project objectives. The concept of virtual prototyping of a roadheader’s control system consisting in coupling the real PLC controller, made by WAGO, with the virtual machine with its surrounding was presented in the paper. Such a solution enables testing the functions of the control system before its installation on a real object, what can significantly reduce the time of the system implementation. Data concerning .NET simulation application made in the Visual Basic language as well as the method of communication between PLC controller and MODBUS TCP simulation application were given. The work also contains a description of basic functions of the roadheader control system as well as assumptions concerning construction of an adaptive control system – which uses the methods of artificial intelligence for analysis of conditions that are around the machine. Design/methodology/approach: Virtual prototyping of a roadheader’s control system consisting in coupling the real PLC controller, made by WAGO, with the virtual machine and with its surrounding. Findings: Trends in the world mining industry indicate for necessity of development roadheader control systems to improve operations associated with roadways driving. Use of a virtual prototyping method will enable to speed up implementation of the system. Research limitations/implications: Building the adaptive system for roadheader control using artificial intelligence will be the next step of the project. Practical implications: The solution presented in the paper is a part of the project aiming at a development of the system for visualization and control of roadheader. The system will be installed in a roadheader manufactured in Poland. Originality/value: Use of the method for virtual prototyping to develop the control system of a mining machine.
