仿真教学机器人模拟工作站的构建

On the Design of Teaching Robot Simulation Workstation

介绍一种机器人模拟工作站的设计方法,重点介绍该工作站的软件实现。和传统的机器人工作站相比,该模拟工作站不需要机器人本体,大大节约了空间和成本,教学机构可以大量的配置,使学员得到更多联机实践的机会,有利于学习效果的提升。模拟工作站由主从PLC站点组成,从PLC站点模拟工业机器人的各类信号,主PLC站点模拟实际工作站的电气控制系统以及相关的监控信号。在模拟工作站中,可以实现设备之间的通讯,以及除机器人本体程序之外的其他程序的开发与测试。

This paper introduces a method of robot simulation workstation design,and focuses on the software implementation of the workstation.Compared with the traditional robot workstation,the simulation workstation does not need industrial robot,reducing the cost as well as space dramatically.Teaching institutions are advisable to introduce more workstations for students to practice and improve the learning effects.The simulation workstation consists of a master PLC station and a slave PLC station.The slave PLC station simulates all kinds of signals of industrial robot,and the master PLC station simulates the electrical control system and related signals of the actual workstation.With this kind of simulation workstation,the communications between devices are possible,and all the programs can be developed and tested except the industrial robot program.
