The Programmable Virtual Model of the Mechatronic System Using NX 12 Environment

Abstract

The paper deals with the design and implementation of the programmable virtual 3D model of the mechatronic system. The paper offers an analysis of a programmable logic controllers, as well as an overview of Industry 4.0, specifically an analysis of the concept of a digital twin and technologies for the creation of a digital twin. The design of the digital twin of the mechatronic system consists of two steps. The first step is the creation of the virtual 3D model, the second step is the creation of an interactive communication between the virtual model and programmable logic controller. The resulting digital twin of the high bay warehouse is compared with a real laboratory model. The task is to design and create a digital twin based on a real model that will simulate its behavior as accurately as possible.
