CVS 1 IMS Virtual

IMS Virtual:

System Understanding and Plant Structure

  • Analysis of production processes: Getting to know the functionality and system structure of complex production plants.
  • Plant operation: Centralized operation and monitoring of plants and processes in a safe, virtual environment.
  • Working with plant libraries: Utilizing a comprehensive library of fully functional mechatronic stations and complete plants.

Programming, Parameterization, and Commissioning

  • Practical commissioning: Parameterization, programming, and step-by-step commissioning of technologically diverse plants.
  • Control technology: Setup and programming of the control system for virtual 3D models – optionally via PLCSIM or a connected real hardware PLC.
  • Real-time validation: Verification of the programmed behavior through highly detailed and visually descriptive 3D real-time simulations, including collision detection.

Applied Technologies and Sensor Systems

  • Drive and measurement technology: Implementation of speed control via pulse-width modulation (PWM) and exact positioning using incremental encoders.
  • Object detection: Level measurement in magazines using ultrasonic sensors.
  • Identification systems: Data transfer and object identification via RFID read/write heads.
  • Signaling: Visual status display via integrated LED strips.

Systematic Diagnostics and Fault Simulation

  • Incident management: Recognizing and responding to practically simulated faults within the process simulation.
  • Targeted troubleshooting: Conducting systematic troubleshooting on production plants under realistic conditions.
  • Fault configuration: Analysis of deliberately induced faults, such as the misalignment of sensors or manipulated electrical and physical properties of components.
