Emulation software Emulate3D

CADcontrolHMI

Virtual Commissioning Models Built Directly in Your CAD Environment Emulate3D for Machine Builders helps you create controls testing models of a wide range of machine types, directly within SOLIDWORKS. Debug and refine the kinematic sequences and timing of your designs in a virtual environment, and make changes to them faster than is possible with physical prototypes. Create your machine or mechanical system in CAD, mark up the various kinematic and control elements, add a load source if the operation is triggered by the presence of products, then connect the control and activation elements to the PLC IO and run the emulation model. By combining mechanical CAD information with real control system logic you can create a valuable testbed in the form of a Dynamic Digital Twin. View and verify the system operation and control logic before you commit expenditure to building the real thing. Use the controls HMI to train operators offline, and with no disruption to running operations. Create system failures that would be costly or dangerous in the real world, and develop start up and recovery sequences that would be problematic outside the virtual environment. The benefits of dynamic virtual prototyping using Emulate3D for Machine Builders include: -Faster automation project development -Thorough logic sequence and timing verification -Eliminate or reduce costly physical prototypes -Effective and non-disruptive user training
