SIMOSIM software simulation

Undetected errors multiply the costs at every step in the value chain.

To improve efficiency during the product life cycle, machine manufacturers must be sure of the quality of the software early in the process. SIMOSIM lets you simulate the user program very early on during the engineering phase, and you can perform the tests without hardware.

HANNOVER MESSE 2021, Apr 12 - Apr 16

Infinite opportunities from infinite data

Hannover Messe 2021 took place from April 12 to 16 in digital format.

Siemens participated with a unique virtual presence. In line with the motto "Infinite opportunities from infinite data", participants in the Digital Enterprise Virtual Experience were able to explore all of the Siemens highlights in a realistic 3D environment and be inspired by this first-rate digital experience.

SIMOSIM For complex software projects, program components should be optimized as early as possible to speed up the commissioning process.

Simulation and software tests without hardware enable efficient software development and shorter commissioning times.

Simulation already possible in the project stage

From SIMOTION Software Version 5.1, SIMOSIM is an integrated part of SIMOTION SCOUT engineering and SCOUT TIA, and is available to verify your software functionality.

You can use it to test your application programs directly on the engineering PC, before the physical hardware is connected – including the configured axes and kinematics.

Testing just as with a real controller

SIMOSIM provides the proven debug options like program status, break points, and trace functions. IO access points for controlling the peripherals are also available.

The complete Web server functionality is also available. Via direct file access to the virtual CF card, user-defined websites can also be quickly and efficiently developed. External applications can also access SIMOTION via OPC UA. In addition, HMIs can be simulated and optimized using WinCC Runtime.

Important element in the complete digital process chain

SIMOTION allows the simulation to be perfectly integrated into the overall digitalization process: machines can be commissioned virtually by connecting simulation software such as SIMIT or Mechatronic Concept Designer.

Overview of the entire system

OPC UA lets you use the advantages of open communication to monitor all assets in your system in detail, for example for condition monitoring or predictive maintenance.

How you benefit from SIMOSIM

Efficiency

The more efficient software development process not only saves you time and money, but also reduces the time needed for commissioning – and ultimately your time-to-market – thanks to early software optimization and error correction.

Availability

Prior simulation helps reduce setup and downtimes for adaptation work in the field.

Flexibility

Thanks to software simulation in a virtual test environment with no hardware costs or investment.

Monitoring

The simulation can be perfectly integrated into the entire digitalization process, enabling you to monitor your entire production plant, for example for predictive maintenance.
