Summary
-Comau has a Virtual Robot Controller (VRC) that can run actual PDL programs, but without any graphical representation
-Process Simulate provides a 3D representation of the Dual Arm robot
-Need to implement a mechanism that monitors the VRC robot position within Process Simulate and also allows some small update of the PDL program from Process Simulate
-Process Simulate add-on to monitor the simulation and external jog Comau programs loaded in Comau VRC
-Robot programmers in SME, OEM, Line Builders
-The main benefit is the ability to visualize and edit, in a virtual environment, Comau programs loaded in Comau Virtual Robot Controller
-For Siemens, it seems also possible to extend the concept to other robot vendors that also provide Virtual Robot Controllers
