Virtual Commissioning Analyst

DELMIA 3DEXPERIENCE Robotics Virtual Commissioning Analyst (RVN) Role enables the execution of virtual commissioning scenarios based on the pre-defined 3D Virtual Twin.

Multiple scenarios consist of tuning capabilities that adapt the sensor shape or position, or the ability to change part creation frequencies. Other scenarios include enabling virtual validation and correction of the PLC program to accelerate the start of production, reducing costly downtime by leveraging the virtual twin to train operators and maintenance workers, and predicting the work cell cycle time to ensure the production rate by simulating all the mechanical and software behaviors.

When VCA is combined with Equipment & Layout Engineer (ETR) the user can create the virtual twin of the equipment by creating sensors, parts, logic, and tasks, then connect to CATIA ControlBuild with the associated mapping table.

Virtual Commissioning Analyst Benefits

Part creation and transformation

For multicycle simulations, you can generate the same parts, manage different transformations, and create & fill part attributes for use in the logic through the sensors.

Closely Integrated with CATIA Control Build

Virtual Commissioning Analyst (VCA) delivers an immersive 3D experience to virtually validate the PLC program of machines in the factory context. VCA provides the connector that allows a close integration with CATIA ControlBuild where users can develop, integrate, and validate control systems for industrial automation.

VCA’s integration with CATIA ControlBuild provides high performance communication for virtual validation or with the real PLC (hardware in the loop) of the automation controls system.

Virtual Commissioning Analyst Highlights

Sensor modeling

VCA provides the user with the capabilities to model different type of sensors for virtual commissioning. Each sensor has a physical component as well as a behavior model. When used in the simulation, the individual behavior of the sensor (such as sending an output when physical contact is made) allows the user to detect the presence of parts in the zone detection, allowing input and output PLC – SIMULATION interaction.

These sensors can detect any 3D object in their detection zone and set an output signal used in the task or in a program to simulate a line or work cell behavior. They can also read the detected part’s attribute value established by the source command and sets the sensor outputs accordingly. It allows for multiple simulation scenarios.

Different types of sensor are available: 1D as a beam, 2D as a plan, and 3D as a volume. On each sensor, different zone detections with different output set-ups can be created.

Connectivity

VCA offers different types of connectors:

OPC (open platform communication) to control simulations with PLC ladder logic
FMU (functional Mock-up interface)
OPC UA is also available through CATIA Control Build

FAQ'S

What is a 3DEXPERIENCE Role?

A 3DEXPERIENCE Role is a selected group of apps and services useful for a specific job on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. You can have multiple roles and your administrator can create a custom role for you. Apps provide the actual functionality of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, for example, the Project Planner App provides project management, task assignment, and progress tracking capability.

What is included in a 3DEXPERIENCE Role?

Each design team is different, and every user has individual needs. On the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, tools are bundled into Roles which are assigned to individual users on an as-needed basis. Roles grant access to Apps in the Platform. You can think of the Roles on the platform as “a la carte” – meaning you can build your Platform to contain exactly the tools you need, and none of the ones you don’t. Some Roles contain basic tools which may be required for every user, and other Roles are highly specialised for particular applications.
