A general take on a Tecnomatix Process Simulate´s Digital Twin creation and its exchange of information with the TIA Portal and PLC SIM Advanced

Abstract Digital twins are rapidly establishing themselves as a necessary step in digital change also the design of automated and robotic manufacturing systems. The twin serves an interface between physical industrial products worlds. This allows you to map continuous availability data throughout lifecycle from product planning development, production commissioning use recycling. An important towards this goal is create components order database usable for new systems virtual environment. One possibilities using testing Instead classic CAD model, replaces detailed image individual components, including their full functionality. Twin comprises kinematic behavior model most logical model. Our component system, integrate will have signals assigned it behavior. result verification information exchange control system Software-in-the-Loop method Tecnomatix Process Simulate software environment on side Siemens TIA Portal with PLC SIM Advanced controller side. knowledge that functional commissioning.
