The Role of a Behavioural Model for the Virtual Commissioning of Robotic Manufacturing Systems

Abstract This paper focuses on virtual commissioning of a robotic manufacturing system, its theoretical background, and an analysis importance in the design automated systems. Virtual allows PLC control program to be tested debugged created digital model machine, called twin machine. Just this solution can simulate optimize system itself without need have real hardware (PLC, automation elements, or whole machine/equipment). offers effective alternative reduce risks effort makes it possible time market increase flexibility, efficiency, quality. single-control is simple solution; we either use Software-in-the-Loop method with emulated control, simulated behavioural model, co-simulation Hardware-in-the-Loop controller. The problem appears when various types controller, including industrial robot deals background partial outlines solutions different if interconnections emulators for systems are available. recommended separate 3D simulation independent which will future.
