Study on Elevator Manufacturing Industry with Modeling and Simulation of Virtual Elevator Control System Based on TwinCAT Soft-PLC

Abstract:

A solution is proposed to design and build virtual elevator model by software for the elevator manufacturing industry, which realize the communication between virtual elevator model and TwinCAT soft-PLC. To test the correctness of this approach, the ten layer virtual elevator model is simulated through TwinCAT soft-PLC. And the usability of simulation system and the reasonableness of control programming method are verified. The main characteristic in this new research method is to use virtual controlled object and virtual PLC. It means that all research work can be finished with full virtual system and its research results can be used well in elevator manufacturing industry.
