WHAT IS THIS

This is an example of controlling a linear guide on Simumatik by a program running on the Sysmac simulator. You can operate the linear guide with the joystick and buttons on Simumatik. Virtual environments make it easier to test human interaction. For details, please check this article (Japanese).

Built environment

This project was built in the following environment.

Sysmac Studio	Ver. 1.61
Simumatik Launcher	Version 3.3.2, win32

How to use

Build it by following these steps.

1. git clone this repository or download the zip

2. Simumatik setup

Setting up Simumatik involves signing in to the Simumatik web platform and installing the software (Simumatik Launcher). Skip this if you are already using Simumatik.

To sign in to the imumatik Platform, access the following:

http://app.simumatik.com/

To install Simumatik Launcher, refer to the following:

https://docs.simumatik.com/launcher/

3. System setup

System uses the publicly available "Introduction to Motion Control System". Once the System is loaded, make the following changes:

The changed items are as follows.

Component	Property	Value
Inductive_sensor_IN4	Z	0.797m
Linear_Driver_1	Actual position variable	Drive1.ActualPosition
	Driver type	Omron_nexsocket
	Encoder relation	1000.0
	Setpoint variable	Drive1.SetPosition
Linear_Driver_2	Actual position variable
	Driver type	Omron_nexsocket
	Setpoint variable
Linear_motion_slide_encoder	Relation	0.001
PB_NC_IN1	Label visible	✅
	Label text	#Stop
PB_NO_IN0	Label visible	✅
	Maintained	✅
	Label text	#Servo on
PB_NO_IN2	Label visible	✅
	Label text	#Move to Zero
PLC_16DIO_4AIO	Analog range	-4000.00 to 4000.00
	Driver type	Omron_nexsocket
	Var AI1	AI1
	Var DI1	DI1
	Var DI2	DI2
	Var DO1	DO1
	Var DO2	DO2
	Voltage range	-10.00 to 10.00
Potentionmeter	Initial value	100.0

4. Running Sysmac simulator

Open the project (Simumatik_Introduction_to_Motion_Control.smc2) in Sysmac Studio and run the simulator.

5. Start Simumatik emulation

Once the Sysmac simulator is up, start emulation with Simumatik.

File hash

I recommend checking the hash value of the acquired Sysmac Studio project.
