1. A method for event based execution of at least one Fieldbus process control strategy (FPCS) for simulation of an industrial process at least partially implemented by a Fieldbus system including at least one Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) and a plurality of field devices, comprising the steps of: representing an implementation of said FPCS as a Fieldbus data structure comprising a plurality of operational blocks representing operations of said FIM and operations of at least one of said plurality of field devices; creating at least one Link Active Schedule (LAS) scheduling software operation for simulating operations of said at least one field device using said Fieldbus data structure, said at least one LAS comprising software operation identifiers for software implementations of said operations of said at least one field device and timing parameters for performing said software implementations; and running simulation software installed on a computing device for simulating said operations of said at least one field device, said simulation software configured for simulating said system by performing functional block executions of said software implementations identified and scheduled in said at least one LAS.
