micro unit: properties of a digital twin
module 1: digital twin for cyber physical factory
Overview
Steps how to create and run a digital twin of a real existing or planed technical device
In our case the CP-Lab conveyor-belt with the application of “turning the workpiece”
The aim is to create and run a realistic simulation of the automation turning process including physical behavior of the simulated parts. For example workpiece can slide and drop down or may be displaced due to collisions.
There is a coupling of the design model (software Siemens NX MCD) with the automation -controler (PLC) (Siemens TIA Portal PLCSIM advanced).

I can desribe characteristics of a digital twin
I can explain advantages of digital twins
I can desribe usage examples of digital twins
How to create a digital twin:
First of all create a 3-d design model of parts and assemblies (with software programs like for example Autodesk-Inventor, Solid Works, Catia, Siemens NX or others)
