Hello

I have a requirement to reproduce the gripping and placing of a SCARA robotic arm. My current idea is to divide the model into joints and add Drive components to the axis position of each joint, so that it can be moved, so as to achieve the process of motion restoration. But when I use the rotation function of the drive component, I find that it can only rotate all the time, can I set an angle for the drive component to rotate only the angle I set?

Or can you see if there is a better way to simulate the movement of a SCARA robot?

I don't need to add complicated IK algorithms, I just want to give the rotation angle of each axis of the SRACA robotic arm and let it rotate to the target position.

Thanks

Hallo Thomas,

ich bekomme keine Verbindung von Unity zu PLCSimAdvanced V5.0. Bei Simulationsstart kommt jedes mal die Fehlermeldung (in Unity):

"You need to download PLCSimAdvancedCoupler.exe and place it into the \PLCSimAdvanced\Ressources\ folder"

Die genannte .exe habe ich im in meinem Projekt - Ablageordner unter:

C:\Unity Projekte\Zuluftanlage\Assets\realvirtual\Interfaces\PLCSimAdvanced\Ressources

abgelegt. Dennoch scheint Unity die .exe nicht zu finden. Auch die "Siemens.Simatic.Simulation.Runtime.Api.x86.dll" hab ich im entsprechenden Ablageordner für PLCSimAdvanced V5.0 abgelegt unter:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Siemens\PLCSIMADV\API\5.0

Was ich weiter versucht habe ist:

- deinstallieren von "Npcap 1.71" und installieren von "Npcap 1.79"

- bilden einer Instanz in PLCSimAdvanced mit Konfiguration PLCSIM sowie TCP/IP 

- deaktivieren der Windows - Firewall

- starten der PLCSimAdvancedCoupler.exe manuell (Fehlermeldung siehe Screenshot!)

Geladen wurde die PLCSimAdvanced Instanz mit TIA Portal V18. Anbei befinden sich ein paar Screenshot.

Viele Grüße

David

How can I prevent a jumping MU on a (guided) conveyor?

For this I used the invisible conveyor system from your demo project "Guided Transport".

The MU stops at the stopper but starts jumping up and down immediatetly. 

Is there an easy way to prevent this? 

I played around with the Rigidbody parameters and realised it stops if I activate "Is Kinematic". I guess I could do this by writing a scripts that activates this parameter at collision with transport layer.

Hello, it seems like we are having an issue with the OPCUA4Unity asset that we want to use for our Hololens build. We created a new project and were able to create a build for the Hololens without any problems. We then imported the asset from the Asset Store and tried to build again, but to no avail. We didn't add the demo scene into the build, so the problem is not with the scene itself. The build settings match the attached screenshot.

After creating the build in Unity, we open the build folder in Visual Studio and launch the .sln file. We select the Release, ARM64 and Device options and start the process. However, the build process gets stuck at a certain point, as shown in the screenshot.

Greetings.

I am using S7 TCP/IP connection on a Unity project and I am physically connected to an S7-1200.

I am using various PLC Inputs and Outputs (created automatically from the .sdf file).

The PLC outputs are being read correctly on Unity, but when I force (overrite) a BOOL input value, the PLC detects the change but does not hold the new value. For example, I can see on the TIA Portal monitor window that the value is FALSE. I press write to True on Unity but the monitor on TIA Portal still shows False, although it did acknowledge the pulse (mabye it was a very short pulse)? Is this the way writing to PLC inputs works? By pulses? Because I would like to change a boolean (or any other type) value and hold that state for long periods of time.

These are my settings for the S7 Interface

And this is an example of a PLC Input component (Is it normal that the component is deactivated during runtime??):

This is the correspondent GameObject during runtime:

Thanks for your time!

When I choose the WebGl plat for build my unity projects which use realVirtual-io tool, the system has the follow error:

"Assets\realvirtual\private\Interfaces\SharedMemory\Editor\SharedMemoryInterfaceEditor.cs(9,26): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SharedMemoryInterface' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"。

I'm encountering difficulties accessing nodes within the OPCUA Server. While I can establish a connection with the server, the nodes aren't being properly imported into Unity.
Examining the image below, it's evident that input nodes contain nested nodes. However, as depicted in the screenshots, Unity fails to list all the available nodes.

I want to do a project that looks like the demo, but i have tried to do it modifying the demo but i have no clue. I am looking on how to do a conveyor with a sensor at the end. I want to make two sources, two cans with different heigts, one one (i would like to make them appear random, but that i will try to do it further along the project since i guess is harder). Then the ones that are high enough to make the sensor go on, to grap them and put them on a parallel conveyor. When a can touches the first conveyor, i want the conveyor to stop until it is picked up. 
later on, i would like to connect this to a plc siemens, so i would like to get started this project by projecting it on this goal (meaning to put the sensor as an output, something like that)
I am looking for help to put me in the path on completing the project because i do not know how to start and i have watched the tutorials. Any help is appreciated.
thank you

I created an HMI object with 2 HMI tabs. The first tab stores a drop-down menu, and the second tab stores 3 HMI Panel World Space with HMI buttons. When I use Unity in Scene and Game mode , I can visualize the changes. However, after starting the simulation ( Play mode ), all the objects inside HMI wont appear on the game. All elements are on the UI layer.

as i descripte，i want to complete a machine digital twin which is similar with the example demo from your website shows.
