Simulations are software tools approximating and pre-
dicting the behavior of real industrial plants. Unlike real
plants, the utilization of simulations cannot cause dam-
ages and it saves time and costs during series of exper-
iments. A shortcoming of current simulation models is
the complicated runtime integration into legacy industrial
systems and platforms, as well as ad-hoc design phase,
introducing manual and error-prone work. This paper
contributes to improve the efficiency of simulation model
design and integration. It utilizes a semantic knowledge
base, implemented by ontologies and their mappings. The
integration uses the Automation Service Bus and the paper
explains how to configure the runtime integration level se-
mantically. The main contributions are the concept of se-
mantic configuration of the service bus and the workflows
of simulation design and integration.
