IMS Virtual Trainer package

IMS® Virtual is a PC-based, graphical 3D simulation system that provides the virtual learning environment for the mechatronic training systems IMS® and IMU. The virtual stations and production systems are displayed as dynamically animated, virtual 3D scenes in real time with all components. This 3D scene is programmed with STEP 7 like the real models and controlled via the "PLCSIM" software. In the teacher/instructor version, almost any configuration of IMS® production systems can be created from a library of virtual IMS® models with just a few mouse clicks.
Not only the transport systems (IMS) are available, but also the Mechatronic Units (IMU).
The trainer package consists of one teacher and 12 student versions, which are licensed via a USB dongle on the network.

Features:

  • Design and behavior of processes are modeled in detail and clearly in 3D

  • Faults are realistically simulated in the process simulations

  • Library with functional mechatronic stations and systems

  • Real-time simulation

  • Collision detection

  • Error simulation: Configuration of errors in sensor adjustment and in the electrical or physical properties of components

  • Parameterization, programming and commissioning of technologically different systems

  • Performing systematic troubleshooting on production systems

  • Central operation and monitoring of systems and processes

  • Learning the functionality and system structure of a production system

Technologies:

  • Speed control via PWM

  • Positioning via incremental encoder

  • Level measurement in magazine via ultrasonic sensors

  • Data transfer and identification via RFID read/write heads

  • Status display via integrated LED strips

  • Control of virtual models via PLCSIM or real hardware PLC

The following stations are available in the library and can be combined with the teacher version to create almost any systems:

  • IMS® 1 Transport systems, consisting of the following conveyor belt segments: passive, driven and 180° curve

  • IMS® 3 Separating

  • IMS® 3d Double station Separating

  • IMS® 4 Assembly

  • IMS® 4d Double station Assembly

  • IMS® 5 Processing

  • IMS® 5d Double station Processing

  • IMS® 6 Testing

  • IMS® 7 Handling

  • IMS® 8 Storage

  • IMS® 11 Disassembly with a robot

  • IMS® 16 Painting

Furthermore, a wide variety of combinations for systems are prepared and already available in the library:

  • CBP 43 Block production with 3 stations (line configuration)

  • CBP 44 Block production as rotary system (with ejection)

  • CCP 43 Car production with 3 stations (incl. painting of cars)

  • CCP 44 Car production as rotary system (with ejection)

Each combination is also prepared as an IMU variant:

  • UBP 43 Block production with 3 stations (line configuration)

  • UBP 44 Block production as rotary system (with ejection)

  • UCP 43 Car production with 3 stations (incl. painting of cars)

  • UCP 44 Car production as rotary system (with ejection)

System Requirements:

  • Operating System: Windows 11

  • STEP7 Professional (included in STEP7 trainer package)

  • USB port for "IMS-Virtual" server dongle

  • Local network for license management

  • Minimum 500 MB available hard disk space

  • Minimum 16 GB RAM (32 GB RAM in combination with PLCSIM)

  • CPU: Intel Core i5 (10th Generation) Quad-Core with 2.9 GHz clock speed or higher

  • Dedicated 3D graphics card with minimum 2 GB graphics memory
