A 3D simulation of the Fischertechnik training models with a connector to Siemens S7-PLCSIM emulator.
The following training models are simulated:
- 3D-Robot
- 3D-Robot TX (a 3D-Robot enhanced by encoders)
- Indexed line with two machining stations
- Pneumatic processing system
We developed FTsim using 32-bit Unity 5.3.4f1 (download archive) that allowed us to import Siemens S7-ProSim COM object (managed S7-ProSim library).
