This customization feature allows users to tailor the simulator precisely to their needs, making it adaptable to a wide range of industries and complex scenarios.
Editor
The Machines Simulator Editor offers a user-friendly interface for building, modifying, and programming scenarios and their logic. With four predefined environments—including two factory setups, one open-world environment, and a low-resource prototyping option—the editor provides the versatility needed for various simulation requirements.
Users can easily drag and drop components into the scene, with the option to work in 2D or 3D views. The editor also allows precise measurement of installations and real-time testing of configurations, making it an essential tool for creating and optimizing complex systems.
Digital Twin
Machines Simulator empowers users to build digital twins of any industrial system, providing a virtual replica that accurately mirrors real-world processes and behaviors.
By creating a digital twin, industries can test, optimize, and troubleshoot their systems without the risks and costs of physical testing. This functionality enhances decision-making, minimizes downtime, and improves overall operational efficiency, offering invaluable insights and control over complex systems in a safe and adaptable environment.
Pre-built Machines
Machines Simulator includes over 60 pre-built and fully programmed scenarios covering a broad spectrum of industries, such as solar energy, logistics, automotive, robotics… These scenarios range from simple setups to comprehensive factory replicas, offering users a variety of environments to explore.
Each scenario is set up in demo mode, allowing users to observe the machines’ operations in real time. Additionally, users can modify these pre-built setups, gaining insight into the programming and logic behind each system. This flexibility provides an excellent foundation for learning, customization, and adaptation to various industrial applications.
Programming
Machines Simulator offers versatile programming capabilities to suit different user preferences and skill levels. Users can program scenarios using C# scripts, providing full control over the machine behavior and logic. For those preferring a more visual approach, the simulator also includes a node-based programming system, enabling quick customization without the need to write code.
Additionally, Machines Simulator is compatible with EasyPLC, allowing users to seamlessly integrate and test their programs within the simulation environment. This flexibility ensures that both beginners and advanced users can effectively create and control complex systems.
Simulate
With Machines Simulator, users can run real-time simulations of their fully programmed setups, gaining insight into both digital and analog inputs and outputs. The simulation speed can be adjusted—accelerated, slowed down, or paused—allowing for detailed observation of each stage of the process.
Additionally, users can interact with the simulation by creating scenarios like blockages, covering photocells, and observing how the system’s physics respond. This feature also supports testing against real or simulated PLCs, with a wide range of drivers available, ensuring a realistic, versatile, and powerful environment for validating and troubleshooting industrial processes.
