VIRTUAL SIMULATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVEYING MECHANISM, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, PLC, AND MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447292 titled 'VIRTUAL SIMULATION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONVEYING MECHANISM, ELECTRONIC DEVICE, PLC, AND MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a virtual simulation method for a conveying mechanism.

  • The method involves obtaining a data model of the conveying mechanism.
  • A virtual conveying line is created based on the data model, allowing the data model to move along the virtual conveying line during a simulation process.
  • A target logic block is created to determine the actual distance the data model moves each time during the simulation process.
  • The actual distance is sent to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller).
  • The PLC controls the data model to stop moving when the actual distance matches the target distance for each movement of the conveying mechanism.


Original Abstract Submitted

A virtual simulation method for a conveying mechanism includes obtaining a data model of the conveying mechanism, creating a virtual conveying line according to the data model so that the data model is movable along the virtual conveying line during a simulation process, creating a target logic block used to determine an actual distance for which the data model moves each time during the simulation process, and sending the actual distance to a PLC, so that when it is determined that the actual distance is the same as a target distance for which the conveying mechanism should move each time, the PLC controls the data model to stop moving.
