Abstract
Virtual Commissioning (VC) is a method and tool for verifying and testing the PLC control program on a virtual digital model of the manufacturing system. It allows to visualize and test the control system before the real commissioning of the production systems. The aim of the research is to implement virtual reality (VR) into the VC method and to verify the mutual interaction of signals between the simulation in VR environment, the digital model of the production system and the control system. The introduction of VR in VC increases the concept by adding more realistic visualization and tracking, which extends its validation capabilities. The changes made in VR virtual environment are transferred to the simulation model and can be validated in a real production system. The real production robotic system transformed into a virtual form will be a case study with its verification. Also will be tested security protocols and proven human interaction with the system to control the system through the virtual HMI (virtual user interface) using VR.
Highlights
Virtual Reality (VR) is used to display digital computer simulation
The real production system will be used for the experiments and its simulation models will be verified in simulation software supporting Virtual Commissioning (VC) and VR (ABB RobotStudio)
We have addressed the problem of how to transform a virtual realitycontrolled by the jogging function to signal into a real industrial robot control system
Summary
Virtual Reality (VR) is used to display digital computer simulation. The virtual twin is used to connect a true production system with a digital world that is displayed in VR. The most important step is to create, test and validate this virtual twin in an immersive virtual environment [2]. One option is to use and test collaboration between an operator and a collaborative robot in a virtual environment [6]. The experiments were performed in the ABB RobotStudio software environment, which allows displaying of various CAD models, robotic workstations, as well as creating robotic simulations with a supportive function of displaying such studies in an immersive VR environment using HTC Vive Pro VR glasses [9]
