If you only run robots within “comfortable” subset of they capabilities, and only use basic motions without e.g. Further details like settling time for servos might be difficult to simulate and calibrate. I don’t know if and to what extent the KUKA’s RCS takes this into account, but it probably does, as payload can be configured in KUKA.Sim. dynamics of the robot, so a robot arm with high payload will move just as fast at the extremes of its reach as same robot without any payload. The VC motion planning and simulation doesn’t take into account e.g. KUKA.Sim uses KUKA’s own robot controller simulator (RCS module), so the logic should be the same as on real robot controller, or at least very close to it.

VC’s motion planning is “general purpose” so the real KUKA controller logic probably differs in many special cases. Generally any difference comes from different level of simulation, and difference in motion planning logic. Is my colleagues statement correct, can i not trust VC over Kuka Sim when attempting to identify a cycletime of a robots operation? I’ve also noticed that they both uses something called “Firmware version” in VC as of 8.6.6 and KukaSim uses “RCS V 8.6” which i suppose almost the same then… 8000 as default i believe… They also claims that the robot does not slow down if it approaches the “safety zones” - a feature possible in Kuka Sim but not VC they claim. Now the difference could be the fact that Kuka Sim uses a % based value on Acceleration and Deceleration (also a thing my robot programmer claimed was not trustworthy in VC) where VC uses an actual value eg. The results are somewhat the same, Kuka Sim comes out with a cycle time of 99 sec and VC on 104… This is not about Kuka Sim or anything within that Simulation software however i’ve been told countless times (by my companies Robot programmer) that the program Kuka Sim is more trustworthy when it comes to cycle times of a simulation…Īs such i’ve created an identical simulation in both Visual Components 4.5 and Kuka Sim 4.0 and programmed each PTP and LIN position identical + used the same components in the entire Depalletizing task…
