Virtaul Axis - Simulation

[BridgeAutomationSolutions 0]

Is it possible to simulate a servo axis in Sysmac Studio? Can you create a virtual axis and then set velocity & position for this virtual axis?

If this is possible, is there an example program that anyone can share with me?
Thank you.
Happy new Year!

Yes, you can.  It doesn't even have to be a virtual axis though.  You can be setting up a real axis and then run it in simulation.  It does also work with virtual axes though...

Here is a quick program.  Enable the servo, then issue the move command, then stop.  There is a trace in the program that I ran in simulation for you to take a look at.

Hi Michael, 

As you mentioned, the user can simulate both servo and virtual servo axes. It works!  

Thank you so much for your help and time. It is greatly appreciated. 

Have a nice day!
