Device Mapping in ABB
Hello,
I am working on connecting ABB robotstudio to game4automation, and I have a question about the device mapping. I have device mappings that go to +-120, How can I make this in robotstudio? I can only see it go up to 9 and then it becomes 1,1, 1,2 etc, does this count as 11,12 etc?
Another question, Do I have to create empties in robotstudio for every missing device map? I saw the page but didnt understand why you had to create that much empties.
Please try do do this. I am not able to test because currently I have not an ABB Robotstudio with your configuration. Hope it works.
Add Byte to Origin Data Type
and replace Line 167 following in ABBRobotStudioInterface by this:
if (signal.OriginDataType.ToUpper() != "BYTE")
{
if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))
{
if (lastbit)
posmemory = posmemory + 1;
bit = 0;
shm.bit = 0;
lastbit = false;
signal.Comment = $"MD{posmemory}";
accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 10);
shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.INT;
posmemory = posmemory + 4;
}
}
else
{ if (signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCInputInt) || signal.GetType() == typeof(PLCOutputInt))
{
if (lastbit)
posmemory = posmemory + 1;
bit = 0;
shm.bit = 0;
lastbit = false;
signal.Comment = $"M{posmemory}";
accessor.Write(posheader, (byte) 8);
shm.type = SIGNALTYPE.BYTE;
posmemory = posmemory + 1;
}
}
Hello Thomas，can I build an Android APP？
Hello Thomas，I connect my mobilephone with my PC through WIFI。But when I open PLCSIM advanced Interface in Android it does not appear a black window，so I can't connect my virtual PLC。If I want control my virtual PLC in Android what should I do？Can I do it？Thank you Thomas。
Hi, not all Interfaces are working on all Platforms. Unity is cross compiling to the destination platform but sometimes we need windows specific DLLs. PLCSim Advanced is not working on Android. But you could connect to it using the S7 interface. More information about platform limitations can be found here:

Error in opening secure channel [BadEncodingLimitsExceeded]
I have this problem when I try connecting Prosys OPC UA server simulator: OPCUA Interface - Error in opening secure channel [BadEncodingLimitsExceeded]
I can connect with OPC watch like in game4automation documentation. Whats wrong?

game4automation Starter Edition Questions
Hi Thomas, I'm having a problem with game4automation Starter Edition. After I connect to the S7-1200 and import the .sdf file, but the connection icon is gray, not colored as in the video, but I am following the video, is the starter version supporting the communication of the S7-1200? And how do I complete the communication, I have been worried about this for several days.I would very much like to have your help.
Hard to say what your problem is. Yes for sure, Starter is supporting S7 interface.
Is it an input or an output what you would like to use. Please make sure, that both are well outside the existing hardware IO adresses, otherwise the hardware status could overwrite the signals from the G4A S7 interface. Do you get any error messages in the console log. Please also check that your PLC is configured like described here:

Question about rotating transport surface
Hello,
I am currently working on a project which uses a conveyor on a rotating axis. I got this all to work, but when the conveyor rotates the transport surface is in the wrong direction (It doesn't change with the rotation of the part)
"Draaitafel" is the GameObject that rotates, it contains the transport surfaces (which are in the conveyor game object) and a frame +sensors. The drive script of the transport surfaces is made on the Conveyor gameobject. I have tried putting it on "Draaistation" but no success with that either.
Hope you can help!
With kind regards,
Bo
Hello Thomas，I noticed PLCsim advanced Interface only support English name
Hello Thomas，I noticed PLCsim advanced Interface only support English name，when I input Chinese name it shows ???? in Unity and I could not use them。Could you support Chinese name in future？Most of people are not good at English in China，thank you Thomas。
Integrating detailled hardware behavior models into Unity
Good day to you,
We have been using your asset Game4Automation Professional for a few weeks now and are very impressed with its functionalities. We quickly found out that especially the interoperability between tools and the intransparency of different company landscapes make the biggest troubles.
We also use another VIBN tool that already provides many libraries and templates for behavior models of drives, for example. These are mapped in FBD or a similar language, and there is also an image of this as XML, which can apparently be used for the external VIBN tool's C# programming. How to use this, however, we neither know for the external tool nor for Game4Automation yet. In order not to have to create a new behavior model for the drives of our VIBN in Unity every time, it would be good if we could take over the existing models completely or at least only with small adjustments. Do you already have experience with this, or do you know customers who have to deal with the same problems?
After further research we came across FMI, among others, which is supported by G4A Pro. Is this interface the right one to integrate behavior models from, for example, a Sinamics S120 drive from Siemens into Unity?
Or do we always have to access a library of an external tool for this? We can't currently test the FMI export of the other VIBN tool because it costs extra, so we'd like to make sure we're on the right track before purchasing it.
Do you furthermore have experience whether component manufacturers share the behavior models of their products with customers (especially also as FMI)?
Hi,
FMI could be the future standard for behavioral model exchange, but currently it seems that you can't get FMUs of any component from the OEMs. And I'm pretty sure that you can't export FMUs from Simit, for example, and that Siemens doesn't provide FMUs for their own drives (Siemens is interested in selling Simit, not replacing it ;-)). Currently I would not rely on FMUs to replace own behavior models. Unfortunately, I don't see an industry accepted standard being available anytime soon. If you are a Simit user and have your own behavior models, then you can continue to use them and Simit along with Game4Automation.
I hope this helps, even though it may not be the answer I was hoping for.
Best regards
Thomas
OPCUA runs in player/editor but indicates "specified license not valid" in build (G4APro licensed)
In my application I use (this time) only the OPC UA connectivity of my G4A prof licensed installation. In player and editor all is working well but when I run a build the log shows "The specified license is not valid." and therefore makes no connection.
Hi, I am in vacation until this Thursday. I think it will be best to look first into your project and to check. You can send us your NDA to info@game4automation.com and I can sign on Thursday morning.
Best regards

vs code can open script, vs2019 unsupport open script
Hello,
If i set script open by vs code, it could be open C# behavior script.
if i set script open by visual studio 2019, it could't open C# behavior script.
it is only support vs code ?
Roy
Hi, I would recommend Visual Studio 2019 - which is usually used. I have seen some customers using Code but I would not recommend it, because there might be some limitations. We are using Rider for development which is also very good with Unity but Rider is not for free.
If you have problems in using Visual Studio 2019 this is a general Unity or Visual Studio installation or setup problem.
Please follow this guide:
Conveyor can run but the source always go down
Hello
Question:Conveyor can run but the source always go down which parameter set wrong?
The colliders of the MU are not defined as they should. You can compare with the MUs in the Demo scene.
You need to have at least one box collider on an MU which is on the layer g4a_MU (see my sceenshot). This layer is working for transport collissions as well as sensor collissions.
Please also check:
https://game4automation.com/documentation/current/physics.html
The example MU in the demo scene is even more complicated. It has two colliders - one for the transport (like realistic rolling on the bottom - on the layer g4a_TransportMU) and one for the sensor on the layer g4a_SensorMU.
