Based on the CAD data (Step or native formats, such as SolidWorks, CATIA, ProE, NX, Inventor, etc.), a digital simulation model is generated. The behavior is described by virtual components, so the virtual model behaves like the real machine.
The connection between the real PLC and the virtual simulation model takes place via a real fieldbus system. Actuator signals (control signals for motors or valves) and control words of the PLC are processed and control the model. The model transmits sensor and feedback signals (position, temperature, encoder, limit switch, etc.) to the PLC. Since the virtual components behave like real ones, there is no difference for the PLC software - the model behaves 100% like the real machine.
We provide you with the virtual model - you create and test the PLC software directly at your desk.

The "virtual commissioning" technology grant a huge competitive advantage due to the enormous time savings of the commissioning cycle and the software tested in advance (functions, programs, PLC, macros ...).
In the classical procedure, the machines / systems are usually mounted mechanically up to a certain state (guides, drives, measuring systems, power supply, etc.). From this point on, commissioning takes place parallel to the mechanical assembly progress. This means in practice that the trades hinder each other and the process is inefficient. Waiting times and troubleshooting of hours or days (in case of problems) are on the agenda.
By virtual commissioning, the PLC and robot programs can be programmed and tested beforehand by the software-specific mapping of the real system. Tests and simulations are possible in the virtual model (digital twin) and that before the mechanical requirements are met. This will enable the machine and plant manufacturer to check the processes and cycle times required by the customer at an early stage and to optimize them if necessary. The time-parallel relocation reduces the lead time significantly (from weeks / months to days) and avoids time-consuming errors in advance.
