“We will define simulation as the process of designing a model of a real system and conducting experiments with this model for the purpose of understanding the behavior of the system and/or evaluating various strategies for the operation of the system. Thus it is critical that the model be designed in such a way that the model behavior mimics the response behavior of the real system to events that take place over time”.

The purpose of this site is to provide the student with a tool to approach the world of industrial automation. From the modeling of the industrial plant to the choice of sensors up to the development of the software for the PLC.
By carrying out a series of exercises of increasing difficulty, the student will be accompanied on a training course that will allow him to live the experience of a true industrial design.

The first phase consists in identifying the problem to be addressed.

system definition and analysis
The next step is to define the system and carry out an accurate analysis of the collected data.
It is necessary to identify all the fundamental parameters for the creation of the model:
cause and effect relationships;
key factors that have a decisive impact on the functioning of the system;
dependence of activities, time and priority constraints.

From the conceptual model to the operational model using FACTORY I/O, a simulation software that automates the phase of writing the programming code by making available to the student a series of ready-to-use standard objects and applications.

Finally, the simulation software allows you to verify and validate the model through graphic animation. It will be possible to develop and execute an experimental plan containing different simulation scenarios in order to analyze the results to determine the validity of the developed model.
