PLC-Lab Pro 2.0.0

通过 PLC-Lab，您可以创建自己的简化数字孪生，用于 PLC 培训或查找 PLC 程序中的所有逻辑错误。PLC-Lab 中的对象提供了广泛的设计和设置选项，因此可以使用 PLC-Lab 实现的项目类型的多样性非常高。

可以为对象分配物理属性，然后在模拟过程中影响对象的行为。例如，物体可以依赖于重力并且具有磁性。此外，您可以设置密度、表面摩擦和弹性等参数。集成的物理引擎可确保对对象进行逼真的模拟。PLC-Lab 的用户界面和绘图区完全面向矢量。这意味着 PLC-Lab 中的对象可以放大或缩小尺寸而不会降低质量。用户界面在高分辨率屏幕（例如 4K）上也显示得非常清晰。系统或测试环境的设置很简单。PLC-Lab 的使用基于 Microsoft 的 PowerPoint 等程序。

从简单到复杂
创建数字孪生的复杂程度取决于您。您可以只使用按钮、灯和几个圆柱体，或者您可以使用真实的装置照片或设计师创建的图像来创建尽可能逼真的虚拟场景。目标应该是虚拟系统向 PLC 提供相同的信号，并对输出做出与真实系统相同的反应。

与工厂 I/O 的区别
工厂 I/O 是 3D，而 PLC-Lab 是 2D。但更重要的是：Factory I/O 专为 PLC 培训而设计，可用于构建某些简化的机器类型。所创建场景的 3D 视觉表现和实时声音确保了令人惊叹的效果。如果您可以使用 Factory I/O 部件构建您想要的场景，那么它就是您的完美产品。但是，如果您想将现有硬件模型数字化或对虚拟场景有确切要求，那么 PLC-Lab 是正确的选择。PLC-Lab 适用于 PLC 培训和专业用户。

File size: 43.3 MB
With PLC-Lab you can create your own simplified digital twin for PLC training or to find all logical bugs in your PLC program. The objects in PLC-Lab offer extensive design and setting options, so the variety of project types that can be implemented with PLC-Lab is very high.

The objects can be assigned physical properties, which then influence the behavior of the objects during simulation. For example, objects can be depend on gravity and be magnetic. In addition, you can set parameters such as density, surface friction and elasticity. An integrated physics engine ensures the realistic simulation of the objects. The user interface and the drawing area of PLC-Lab are entirely vector-oriented. This means that the objects in PLC-Lab can be enlarged or reduced in size without any loss of quality. The user interface is also displayed razor sharp on high-resolution screens (e.g. 4K). The setup of a system or test environment is straightforward. Use of PLC-Lab is based on programs such as PowerPoint by Microsoft.

From simple to complex
The complexity of creating your digital twin is up to you. You can just use buttons, lamps and a few cylinders, or you can create a virtual scene as realistic as possible using real photos of the installation or images created by a designer. The goal should be that the virtual system delivers the same signals to the PLC and reacts to the outputs as the real system.

Differences to Factory I/O
Factory I/O is 3D and PLC-Lab is 2D. But much more important: Factory I/O is designed for PLC training and it can be used to build certain and simplified machine types. The visual representation of the created scenes in 3D and the real-time sound ensures a wow effect. If you can build your desired scene with the parts of Factory I/O, it is the perfect product for you. However, if you want to digitize an existing hardware model or have exact requirements for a virtual scene, then PLC-Lab is the right choice. PLC-Lab is suitable for PLC training and for professional users.
