Abstract
A simulation device includes a first simulation circuitry to simulate the operation performed by a programmable controller in accordance with a first program, and second simulation circuitry to simulate the operation performed by a motion controller in accordance with a second program. Further, there is a data sharing memory into and from which the first simulation circuitry and the second simulation circuitry are allowed to write and read data.
Claims13
A simulation device comprising:
- processing circuitry configured as a first simulator to simulate operation performed by a programmable controller in accordance with a first program;
- the processing circuitry further configured as a second simulator to simulate operation performed by a motion controller in accordance with a second program, the second program being different from the first program;
- and
- a data sharing memory into and from which both the first simulator and the second simulator are allowed to write and read data to perform data transfer from the first simulator to the second simulator and from the second simulator to the first simulator, wherein
- when an error caused by a parameter for simulation of operation of the programmable controller or the first program occurs during simulation of operation of the motion controller performed by the second simulator, a second program setter displays an error code identifying the error on a display device, and
- thereafter, when the second program setter receives the error code, a first program setter that acquires the error code via the data sharing memory displays, on the display device, an input setting screen for the parameter or the first program associated with the error code.
