COMMON CHALLENGES
Do you have a hard time handling complex PLC programs?
Internal dependencies and cross-references can make it hard to understand the functionality of the complete system.
Is it sometimes hard to meet deadlines with project deliveries?
Poorly tested PLC code can cause weeks of delays in automation projects. Don't you just wish an easy way to test, visualize and validate your code?
Validation is necessary before hardware implementation on the shop floor.
THE SOLUTION
The Visual Components PLC Add-on for 3DCreate and 3DSimulate is a digital factory test bench for control engineers to prove out factory logics during the design phase by testing the system under different operation modes. The PLC Add-on allows you to connect the real PLC code to a virtual model and validate the functionality before you have any of the hardware ready or the line is built.
- See it. See the model changing as you alter the configuration using different parameters.
- Believe it. Let your customers see how your products work.
- Share it. Send your proposal to a customer or colleague using the free viewer 3DVideo.
- Save time. Validate PLC code on a virtual simulation model.
