Revolutionizing automation with FlexSim’s 2024 Emulation Module
In the era of Industry 4.0, the integration between digital simulation and automation systems is no longer a luxury but a necessity. At Flexcon, we are proud to distribute the cutting-edge FlexSim 2024 Emulation Module, an advanced tool that bridges the gap between simulation models and real-world automation systems. This powerful module provides a seamless environment for virtual commissioning, enabling manufacturers and logisticians to test, verify, and optimize their automation systems before implementation.
What is the FlexSim Emulation Module?
FlexSim Emulation Module is designed to provide robust communication tools that integrate with systems at every automation level:
- Control Level (e.g., PLCs)
- Supervisory Level (e.g., SCADA/DCS)
- Management Level (e.g., MES)
- Enterprise Level (e.g., ERP)
With support for widely used communication protocols like ModBus, OPC UA, MQTT, and manufacturer-specific protocols such as Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff, this module offers unparalleled flexibility and scalability.
Key Features and Benefits
Support for IoT and Industry 4.0 Applications
The integration of the MQTT protocol enables lightweight, scalable messaging for IoT devices. This positions the FlexSim Emulation Module as an ideal tool for modern smart factories aiming to enhance real-time data processing and distributed systems integration.
Seamless Integration Across Platforms
The module supports both basic connectors (ModBus and OPC DA) and advanced connectors (e.g., Siemens S7, Allen-Bradley, MQTT). Whether you’re working with physical or virtual PLCs, FlexSim ensures real-time, bidirectional communication between systems.
Enabling Virtual Commissioning
By connecting simulation models to PLCs, users can simulate and debug automation logic in a risk-free virtual environment. This not only reduces commissioning time but also prevents costly errors during physical implementation.
Enhanced Performance and Flexibility
The 2024 edition has been optimized for better performance, with latency reductions in protocols like OPC UA and expanded support for new connectors like MQTT and Mitsubishi MC. Additionally, it offers synchronization capabilities for simulation clock speeds and debugging between FlexSim models and PLC programs.
FlexSim 2024 Emulation Module is a game-changer for manufacturers, logisticians, and industrial engineers. Its ability to connect virtual simulations with real-world systems ensures streamlined operations, reduced costs, and improved efficiency. Whether you’re designing a smart factory or optimizing a production line, FlexSim’s Emulation Module offers the tools you need to succeed.
How to Access the Emulation Module
If you haven’t experienced the power of FlexSim yet, now is the perfect time!
The 2024 update has introduced major advancements to the Emulation Module, including the integration of new protocols and refined licensing requirements, developed by Flexcon S.r.l., the official distributor of FlexSim in Italy.
Starting with FlexSim 2024 Update 2, the Emulation Module will be available exclusively through Flexcon S.r.l. via your FlexSim account. This change allows Flexcon to release updates for the Emulation Module independently of FlexSim’s main version schedule, ensuring more frequent and timely improvements.
