ABSTRACT:
An automatic apparatus employed to simulate material conveying hardware and sensors to test control systems for factories and warehouses. The simulated conveying system is displayed on a color graphics CRT with the state of the input and output signals and a graphic representation of individual packages. Animation provided by the invention allows system operation to be observed. An attached operator's console has a command menu with functions to control the simulation. The simulated system may be started, stepped, stopped and the reaction of the control system observed on the color graphic CRT. Scenarios which represent the expected operation of the conveying system, may be set up to exercise the control system and determine system operation under stress or unusual operating conditions. The device may also be used to monitor an installed conveying system and provide diagnostic capabilities when actual operation does not meet expected operation.
