Connecting physical industrial PLCs directly to 3D virtual digital twins to validate safety logic before factory construction.
Physical Siemens, Beckhoff, and Rockwell PLCs interface with the digital twin over real-time PROFINET or OPC UA. The simulator emulates limit switches, safety light curtains, and motor drives with microsecond fidelity.
Engineers inject virtual mechanical jams, cable cuts, and emergency stop trips, verifying that PLC safety routines transition robots into fail-safe states without risking expensive physical machinery.
