Mechatronics systems use increasingly sophisticated automation equipment. With Simulation software, such as MechaSIM Mechatronics Simulation training software for the L16 Allen-Bradley CompactLogix 5300 PLC, a user can create and test a program before downloading the program to the PLC. This saves considerable time in testing and troubleshooting programs and prevents costly damage to equipment.
What is Graphical Simulation Software?
Graphical simulation software provides a virtual version of the real environment. This could be a single object or a group of objects that interact with one another. A graphical representation of a PLC, for example, operates the same as a real-world PLC. The program operation is observed and modified until the program runs as intended. The resulting program can then be downloaded to the PLC and tested.
Graphic simulation software shows the operation of each piece of hardware in response to each input and output. The programmer can watch cylinders extend and retract, parts move from point A to point B, and so on. An example of geographical simulation software is the MechaSIM software. The program is downloaded to the PLC and the virtual Mechatronics stations are started. The operator monitors the operation from many different angles, watching for faults or collisions with hardware. This provides the programmer with the opportunity to test and modify the program before downloading it to the PLC connected to the hardware.
