Introduction

Simulation is started by clicking on the submenu Simulate Program from TR 2000 (Ctrl + S)

In simulation mode, baskets are blue.

The testing is carried out in simulation mode running a robots program file. The instructions in the program are carried out independently for each robot. By using the predefined Response Objects the status of inputs can be simulated. The status of inputs can also be set manually by using the IO window for any virtual programming unit.

Create Response Objects




Clear All Response Objects

You will have to set the inputs manually while simulating.




Rotation Time

Enabled for Robots with Rotation Grip.


Lids Response Time
This is the default response time for inputs connected to the lid opened/closed detector switches.

You can change this value individually for each response object.




External Liftout Upstroke Time
This is the default response time for the input connected to the external liftout high position signal.

You can change this value individually for each response object.




External Liftout Immersion Time
This is the default time for starting the liftout sequence after enabling upstroke on the liftout.

You can change this value individually for each response object.




Chain Step Time
This is the default time for a complete turn of the chain gearwheel. A detector switch is inactivated when the wheel is in step position.

You can change this value individually for each response object.

Use calculated movement speeds

When this menu is checked the graphics will move with 'real' robot speed (normally slower than the simulation speed)
