Virtual commissioning of a robotized production cell with use of mechatronic features

In the work the way of the virtual commissioning of the robotized production cell with use of the mechatronic features (MOE) was presented. The preparation of a machine model or a production line for virtual commissioning can be divided into two basic stages. The first stage consists in creating a geometric form of the modeled system (Modeling and Assemblies modules). The second stage consists in preparing the created model for its analysis of operation in the control context. This approach makes the described modeling process very time-consuming. In order to improve this process, it is proposed to use the mechatronic features method for modeling technical means in the context of their virtual commissioning. The mechatronics feature was defined as the set of: the functional features (FOE), the conjugation relations between FOE (RSF), the sensor features (SEOE), the signal features (SOE), the conjugation relations between FOE and SEOE (RSFSE), the conjugation relations between FOE and SOE (RSFS), the conjugation relations between MOE and the geometrical form of a cooperating subsystem with the control subsystem (RSMPG), and the transformation relation (RPM). The elaborated method of preparation of the virtual model of the mechatronic system allows to improve the process of the virtual commissioning. (paper)
