Virtual debugging method for automatic workshop based on digital factory

Abstract

The invention relates to a virtual debugging method for an automatic workshop based on a digital factory. The method comprises the following steps: developing a communication plug-in between the automatic workshop and an external application program by utilizing Visual Components software API, determining a communication interface and driving a virtual simulation system model to act by the external application program; running a controlling application program of the automatic workshop, observing action conditions of all equipment in simulation software, adjusting the number of all the equipment, process parameters and a workshop control strategy, and shortening waiting time of the equipment, thus improving the production efficiency of the automatic workshop. The method is based on the digital factory and has the advantages that design optimization of a workshop layout, project approachment, production process optimization and workshop control strategy validation can be carried out before the automatic workshop is really put into operation; in addition, under the condition of no actual equipment, a software system can be debugged, so that the research and development cycle can be shortened and the cost of enterprises can be effectively reduced.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of intelligent equipment, and in particular relates to a virtual debugging method for an automated workshop based on a digital factory. 【Background technique】 [0002] The digital factory takes manufacturing resources (resource), production operation (operation) and product (product) as the core, based on product life cycle data, and applies simulation technology, virtual reality technology, experimental verification technology, etc. The virtualization of all real activities in the production unit, production line and the entire factory, and an integrated organization method that simulates, tests, analyzes and optimizes the processing and assembly process is the only way to move towards Made in China 2025 and Industry 4.0. [0003] However, in the debugging process of the current automated workshop, many problems are constantly exposed. Due to the large number of equipment in the automated workshop and ...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, in the debugging process of the current automation workshop, many problems are constantly exposed

Due to the large number of equipment in the automated workshop and the entire production process is a dynamic process, the control strategy is more complicated, and it is difficult to verify its reasonable reliability. On-site debugging will not only cause debugging risks but also increase the time for on-site debugging, resulting in the overall Project commissioning time is too long

[0004] Due to the development of digital factory technology, it is possible to simulate, evaluate and optimize the entire production process, but in the process of simulating the production process, the high degree of coupling between the entire control strategy and process simulation is not conducive to the division of labor and cooperation of personnel; in addition, After verifying that the control strategy is reasonable, the control strategy needs to be rewritten into the application program, and the work efficiency is low
