It is possible to drop the can in any position?
I want a very realistic physics to simulate the robot taking a can and dropping the can when the gripper is opened. It's possible?
You will need to set the Values "PlaceObjects" or the corresponding values to true to loose the can. If you use PickBasedOnCylinder this can be controlled by a connected cylinder. So the Can should fall down whenever you open the Cylinder.
Modbus TCP/IP support
I. was wondering if Modbus TCP / IP support was planned in the near future.
Modbus is very well supported in the open source world and would enable they use of a large selection of pre-existing software, hardware and PLCs, in North American particularly.
How to use Modbus on G4A side is described here:
https://game4automation.com/documentation/current/modbus.html
G4A works as a Modbus server so your PLC needs to write and read from the modbus registers by some small PLC code. We don't have any knowledge about fx3u so you would need to take care about the fx3u side by yourself.

OPCUA4Unity Adding Monitored Items to Subscription.
Hello, I'm currently working on a project that requires reading of thousands of node values. Currently your documentation implies we should subscribe to nodes using OPCInterface.Subscribe() however, this makes a new subscription for each value which quickly reaches a limit. Is there a procedure for adding new monitored items to a single subscription?
Ho Jacob, we have now a beta whoch is able to have the needed limits. It is currently tested by a few customers and will be released soon.
If you are interest I can send you the beta.

S7 interface problem
Hello,
I was following the youtube tutorial on how to connect Unity with S7 controller (in my case 1500).
After I successfully checked the connection and added PLCTags sdf file, made a fast test scene but when I Play it I have the following messages cycling:
Any suggestions ?
You are welcome, please give us a good rating in the Unity asset store if you are happy with our solution - thanks!
Tracking Pulses
Hello there,
I have been messing around with a behaviour interface to add tracking pulses to a drive. It has suddenly dawned on me that you may already have such functionality tucked away somewhere, please let me know before I re-invent the wheel ;)
No we don't send out pulses so far on a drive. But it should be simple to add. I only see a problem if drive is to fast. Pulses could be needed faster than communication cycle is.
Student Access
Dear Thomas
I am currently working as a student at the Corporate University of Baden-Württemberg on my bachelor thesis on machine simulation and automation.
G4A is helping me a lot with my thesis. I find it very intuitive and easy to use. Furthermore, your Youtube tutorials are very helpful in learning the basics of G4A.
I was wondering whether professional licenses will be available for students in the near future?
I am looking forward to your feedback.
With kind regards
Kai Grundmann
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback. We are not planning to do that. The Starter version is meant for for free usage. In very rare cases we are developing things together with universities, companies or students in bachelor thesis and in this case we are suppling for free licenses based on special test contracts.

OPCUA and WebGl
Hi,
is it possible to run the OPCUA Interface inside a webgl app? I tried with Unity 2018.4.15 and 2019.2.17 and always got a "Memory index out of range" error in Chrome and Edge.
Thanks,
Steffen
No WebGL is not supported - sorry. I also think that communicating in a Web application over OPCUA might also be not wished from the security point of view.
Universal Robots integration
we are working a lot with universal robots (UR3, UR5, UR10). Will there be an integration for these robots in Game4Automation Professional? If so, when?
Best regards,

Augmented Reality with Siemens
Hi, I am interested in connecting a SIEMENS PLC to content in Augmented Reality with Unity in a Android mobile phone. How can I do it with Game4Automation?
Hi,
best would be to do it with Game4Automation Professional and the included OPCUA interface.
With the OPCUA interface, you can get the data from the PLC and with the standard Unity UI and AR functions, you could display it on your android phone. Like in this example:

I see you are working on an interface to Fanuc Roboguide. This is a key interest for us. How is it coming along?
Hi Jeff,
you will need the Professional version because all the "advanced" interfaces are part of Professional (like the needed Shared Memory Interface to PLCConnect).
Currently the PLCConnect developers are developing a "special" Game4Automation Interface what will be a "special" PLCConnect Interface on the Game4Automation Professional side. But the current version and standard Shared Memory should also work.
I will get you a PLCConnet trial and some documentation on it. It might take until end of this week. Could you please send me your full contact data to info@game4automation.com.
Thanks and best regards
Thomas
