Abstract

With the evolution of computing, advancement of technology and the need to commission a real process, simulation software was created that could, through computational models, represent a behavior that corresponded to a real situation. In the industrial automation area, it is common for the main equipment and device manufacturers to develop their own simulators for testing and commissioning by their customers. Such simulations allow whoever is developing an application to have a view of how the system will behave when applied and, with that, to make changes before being placed in a real application. Thus, it is clear that simulation is a great tool to aid planning, helping to identify programming errors, facilitating project changes and correcting errors in order to become a more reliable project when applied in the field. . Objectives: This article aimed to create an exemplified application of an industrial robotic process, where through simulation tools, it was possible to develop and validate. The use of simulators also proves to be a great tool for those who want to improve or acquire experience in a certain equipment. Methodology: Was used a virtual environment that simulates the behavior of a 6-axis robot and that interacts with PLC programming software and also with a supervisory system software. Results and conclusions: it was found that it is possible through software to simulate equipment and to be able to create and validate projects, both for those who want to develop in programming and for those who intend to carry out a project for a real company.
