Simulation of the YRC1000 and the Motologix interface

[olsenab]

We are currently operating a GP 400 on a YRC-1000 with Motologix on a Siemens 1500 CPU. I have successfully installed the Motologix library using TIA (Siemens PLC programming tool).

My current challenge lies in simulating the YRC1000 with the Motologix interface towards a PLC. I am seeking a solution similar to Motosim EG-VRC, which can communicate with a PLC for testing purposes before deployment on the hardware.

What is my option?

Today, there is still "hardware in the loop" required for simulating a MotoLogix robot system. The only part which can be simulated is the manipulator:

We are currently developing the MotoLogix function for MotosimEG-VRC, where there will no longer be "hardware in the loop". Release is expected in the second half of 2024.

Hi,

For an upcoming project we are also looking to simulate a YRC1000 with Motologix interface, without using hardware for now.
Is this feature still expected to launch sometime these coming months?

Sadly no. I got informed that the global release will most probably shift into early 2025.
