ROBOTIC TRAINING

Robotics Workshop

This new Robotics workshop of Automation Studio™ provides users tools to create and to simulate sophisticated robotic workcells. The workshop provides robot models that accurately replicate the dimensions and the functionalities of actual robots, enabling users to work with the simulated robots in the same way as the actual robots. The workshop also provides other robotic objects, such as loads or conveyors, allowing users to build their own production lines and check the interactions between them before the actual system can be built. Additionally, the workshop provides the capacity to create all-in-one co-simulations which integrate robots with other technologies in the Automation Studio™ ecosystem (such as PLC), which will bring users to the next level of comprehensive simulations in Automation Studio™.

PROCESS TRAINING

Pipe and Instrumentation Diagram Workshop

This new piping and instrumentation diagram workshop offers users an initial version of a process diagram editor.

It offers a library of symbols for the most frequently used components, such as pressure and flow valves, tanks, compressors and pumps, as well as exchangers.

Pipe editing and, more generally, the representation of symbols on diagrams, will follow the rules of representation recommended by the ISA 5.1-2009 and ISO 14617 standards.

Virtual didactic benches will be available for teaching exercises relating to level and temperature control.

Pipe and Instrumentation Diagram Workshop

TECHNICAL PUBLICATION AND TRAINING

Component Appearance

Following on from the improvements made for lines, cylinders and directional valves, it is now possible to change the visual aspect in simulation and editing of all other components. It is possible to visually identify and distinguish the mobile and fixed parts of components, their activation states, filling volumes and pressurised regions. Standards have been predefined, but users can create their own.

These visual additions make it possible to transform a design diagram into a document dedicated to training or technical publication simply by changing the document standard.

HYDRAULIC AND PNEUMATIC FITTINGS

Fittings Configurator

The realism of a fluid system simulation depends, among other things, on an adequate evaluation of the pressure loss caused by all the elements of the circuit. Hoses, pipe or tube ends, as well as elbow or T-type fittings for example, are often missing from the diagram or neglected or in the digital model. The fittings configurator allows fittings to be added to lines, adapters to be added to components and connectors to be added between elements without requiring additional symbols on the design diagram. The associated pressure losses will nevertheless be taken into consideration during the simulation. The addition of these components will, however, be reflected on the parts list (BOM).

While waiting for the release of the fittings manufacturers’ catalogues, the user can configure the fittings that are most frequently used in their systems.

MANIFOLD BLOCK

Using STEP Files for Generic Components

Generic components for manifold blocks are represented with generic shapes (cylinders or cubes). It will now be possible to replace these generic shapes with STEP files chosen by the user.

Although many component catalogues are available, this addition makes it possible to manage specific components that are not yet in these catalogues.

Displaying Section Views in Technical Drawings

This new function will make it possible to define section views in the 3D environment and make them available in technical drawings. Once defined in the 3D environment, the creation and updating of section views is automatic.

The automatic creation of technical drawings will take into account the section views defined by the user.

Displaying Section Views in Technical Drawings

MULTITECHNOLOGICAL COMPONENT

Evolution of the Custom Component

The evolution of the custom component makes it possible to model multi-technology components. In other words, the component created will be able to handle multiple technologies. It will be possible, for example, to create an electro-hydraulic component compatible with the multi-technology diagram editor.

In the field of processes, it will be possible to configure a component with several types of incoming and outgoing fluids, for example to create a distiller.

This development opens up numerous modeling possibilities, such as in the electrification of mechanical systems or in the process industry where it is not possible to create all possible models.

PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS

Grippers

A new family of actuators is available in the pneumatic workshop : the pneumatic grippers. These actuators are most often used for pick and place applications. This new family offers single and double acting grippers with angular or parallel finger operation.

HYDRAULIC

Oil Volume Variation

The variation in the oil volume based on the pressure to which it is subjected was already taken into consideration. With this new evolution, the influence of temperature on the oil volume will also be considered.

ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY

New Process Illustrated Component Library

A new library of illustrated components is available to extend the areas of application of didactic benches. Process components were added in order to be able to use volume control, temperature control and HVAC-type systems for training purposes.

API

New Language

The Python language has been added for creating scripts in Automation Studio™.

MATHEMATIC BLOCK WORKSHOP

New Blocks

Additional blocks have been added to cover a wider range of modeling cases. Moreover, some of these blocks help streamline certain functions.

ELECTROTECHNICAL WORKSHOP

LADDER DIAGRAM

Export to XML IEC 61131-10 format

Ladder diagram documents are now exported in XML format as defined by IEC 61131-10.

BOM AND REPORTS

Multiple Translations

BOMs and reports now provide the possibility to display data in multiple languages at the same time. A new BOM and report field called “User Translated Property” can be used to select a term to translate and the language into which it should be translated. The text is translated using the translation manager database.

The translation field can be added multiple times so that any number of terms can be translated into as many languages as required.

USER FRIENDLINESS

Custom Component

Access to documents that define the behaviour, logic or symbol of a custom component is possible even if the component is grouped or assembled with other components. This development allows, for example, the declaration of failures in the behaviour of any custom component from the illustrated (educational) libraries.

TECHNICAL PUBLICATION AND TRAINING

Component Appearance

As has already been done for hydraulic components, it is now possible to configure the appearance in simulation and edition mode of pneumatic, mechanical and control components. Different parts of components can easily be distinguished, such as mobile or fixed parts, the active or inactive elements, fillable volumes and pressurized areas. Standards have been predefined, but users can create their own.

These visual improvements make it possible to transform a design diagram into a document dedicated to training or technical publication, simply by changing the document standard.

MANIFOLD BLOCK

Title Block Editor

This new feature allows any user to create their own title blocks. The title block is drawn directly on the diagram, making it possible to immediately see the result.

The title block structure is drawn using lines. The content can be simple text, user-editable text or text retrieved from configured application settings. All of these elements can be added very easily inside the title block frame.

A title block can consist of several frames. Each frame can be positioned anywhere on the page or automatically attached to a corner.

Modify the value of a dimension

It is possible to add linear and angular dimensions on technical drawings. These dimensions can be attached to predefined anchors or customized by the user.

Placing customized anchors precisely on a diagram using the mouse can be difficult. It is now possible to directly specify the value of a dimension or an angle.

Improved system for calculating the cost of a manifold block

An estimate of the cost of a manifold block can be obtained by adjusting parameters in the price database.

2 tables have been added to this database. They now allow the user to enter the machining time per drill bit and per cavity type. This brings precision to the overall calculation of the manifold block cost.

Polygon, arc and curve shapes available for technical diagrams

It is now possible to draw polygon, arc and curve shapes on technical drawings.

PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS

Grippers

A new family of actuators has been added to the pneumatic workshop; the pneumatic gripper. These actuators are most often used for pick and place applications. This new family offers single and double-acting grippers with angular or parallel finger operation. The double-acting model can also have a spring added on either side so it can open or close the fingers of the gripper.

ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY

Updated Residential Electricity Component Library

A new section with blueprint elements has been added to the residential electricity illustrated component library. This section includes outlets, switches, walls, doors and more to draw a completed electric blueprint of a house or apartment for training purposes.
