MapleSim connector for B & R Automation Studio is a result of a partnership between the R and B & Maplesoft, a world leader in industrial automation, formed to combine products from both companies to save engineers time and effort for hardware-in-loop simulation and controller development. MapleSim is an advanced physical modeling and simulation tool, uses modern methods to dramatically reduce development time and analysis model in the production of fast, high precision modeling.
(B) & R Automation Studio is an integrated development environment engineering, which allows you to configure the controller, disk drive, communication and visualization of project development for all in a single environment. With this new connection between products can be quickly developed and optimized in an intuitive visual environment simulation MapleSim complicated engineering system models. MapleSim models of high performance, high fidelity are automatically converted to HTML for easy inclusion in B R & Automation Studio. The model code is completely optimized for high-speed, real-time simulation enables engineers to achieve the requisite performance of hardware, software and the in-loop testing without sacrificing accuracy.
"The Engineers can save considerable time by determining the properties of the system before building a physical prototype through a system level modeling," says Dr. Laurent Bernardin, Executive Vice President, R&D, Maplesoft. "With drag-and-drop environment physical simulation MapleSim Automation Studio, users can easily add system level modeling phases of their workflow without the need for complicated, time-consuming and error-prone mathematical language. With the model system engineers can optimize for behavior of individual items without the risk of unforeseen side effects in other parts of the system. "
"This partnership offers our customers many tangible benefits," said Kurt Zehetleitner, technical manager automation software, B p & using MapleSim MapleSim connector for and (B) & R Automation Studio, Automation Engineers can considerably reduce the time they spend on the design and analysis of their models with the potential to save literally months of work in some cases. A high-quality model is so fast that they can be used directly in hardware-in-loop simulation.
"With more accurate models in testing must be less costly physical prototypes. In addition the controller design and optimization, initiated in MapleSim can then continue in the testing equipment in the loop with B & R Automation Studio-level programmable logic controller (PLC)." Maplesoft product range is supplied and supported by adept scientific's UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and Northern Europe.
