Digital twins of machines lead to faster commissioning,

reduced costs and risks

How can we speed up the

commissioning of machines?

What levers can be used to lower the risks

and costs during the commissioning?

How can unplanned machine

behavior be avoided?

How can mechanical or software failures

be identified at an early stage?

The most efficient way to speed up commissioning

of production plants, while simultaneously improving

production quality, is to use a simulation of the machine.

We call this the Digital Twin of the machine

PLCSIM Advanced the virtual

controller of SIMATIC S7-1500

Page 522/08/2018

A virtual controller… for extensive function simulation including communication,

know-how protected blocks, Safety and web server

Includes a documented public interface… for exchange of data (I/Os, bit memory, DBs, timers) with

customized co-simulation or test software

Support of multiple and distributed instances… for simulation of multiple controllers

on a PC/in the network

Benefit: Comprehensive simulation of controller functionality

NX MCD – Creation of the machine concept

• Creation of mechanical model

of machine by using CAD-Data

• Physical and kinematic enrichment

of machine components like motion,

material flow, gravity or collisions

• Different design alternatives can be

simulated and validated in an easy way
