Abstract [en]

With the different technical improvement made in the industrial domain, computers as well as communication systems allowed the development of new technologies such as virtual commissioning. Virtual commissioning is used to design, develop, test, and implement new production solution to the industry, by simulating the hardware and the software part of a single cell or a complete assembly line. Virtual technology is a promising technology, as it can be used in the educational areas to enhance the quality of teaching by creating more accurate visualisations of existing systems. In the following thesis work, a real assembly line instealled in the PTC which is used in a PLC programming course will be virtualized, using virtual commissioning technology. Using Simumatik as the main software, the PLC logic will be handled by TwinCAT3 and the movement of the robot will be coded in RobotStudio, using RAPID language. Also, communication protocols are also a key feature of the system as an OPC-UA communication must be established between TwinCAT and RobotStudio to ensure a complete communication with Simumatik.The goal of the thesis work is to see how Virtual commissioning can be used to create an intuitive solution that can improve teaching quality without over-complexifying the current course.
