Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper a virtual environment in Tecnomatix, which is the exact reproduction of a manufacturing cell was built. The virtual cell interacts with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) Siemens S7-300 which enables the operator to build and validate a PLC code inside the virtual model. This prevents any possible mistakes from occurring when the PLC code is implemented in the actual work cell. This manufacturing reproduction took place in Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Campus Estado de Mexico where the authors work. The first step in the design was to obtain the measurements of the components which are then designed in the NX software. Once the components are designed, the next step is to export them to a Tecnomatix software called Process Simulate. In one module of Process Simulate named Advanced Simulation it is possible to develop the 3D virtual environment and then introduce control information into that simulation environment. The platform built lets us test our...
