Design and simulation
With autoSIM-200, it is possible to carry out dynamic, multi-colour simulations using pneumatic, electropneumatic, hydraulic, electrohydraulic, electrical and electronic circuits. It is also possible to carry out mathematical models of systems and acquire and process electrical signals (instrumentation).
Library component categories are displayed by means of drop-down menus, showing individual standardised symbols. It includes conventional and proportional pneumatic and hydraulic valves.
autoSIM-200 can inter-connect different blocks (Virtual PLC, 2D, 3D models, etc.).
Programming
autoSIM-200 can be used to create Grafcet diagrams, Ladder, Logigramme (logic gates) and function blocks with structured text. By running the simulation, it is possible to monitor and control the application step by step.
It can also generate symbol tables to address variables and create timers, counters, etc.
Monitoring and control
Using autoSIM-200, it is possible to monitor and control 3D processes. Using a data acquisition card (SAI2443), physical inputs and outputs can be supervised and controlled.
This software can import three dimensional models from 3D Studio and Solidworks. SMC International Training has product applications from the range, ready to run with the system.
Communication with real, physical equipment is possible through the OPC server and I/O cards.
