Tiivistelmä
The main aim of this thesis was to investigate the backgrounds of simulation, animation and modelling. The 3D model of the Roller Conveyors system was created as a case of study in the laboratory at Saimaa University of Applied Sciences. It was designed by using Festo CIROS Studio software. The logic control of the system was programmed in Ladder Diagram language with SIMATIC Manager STEP7, and integrated with virtual Programmable Logic Controller.
3D simulation technology has been adopted successfully in production industry. It has a lot of benefits such as: visualising the on-going process for better understanding, ability to control the system, analysing the results and some other opportunities, which will be described in this thesis. Two programs, based on modelling and simulations, will be compared and then qualified. In conclusion, ideas of improvements of the Roller Conveyor system and possible further applications will be considered.
The evaluation of the results indicates a possibility to continue studying the model by using other programs. It will help to explore the system from other points of view.
