Version 2301 features an updated "Human Modeling" library. Safety standards (ISO/TS 15066) are baked into the simulation. You can now simulate a robot slowing down its speed profile as a human worker enters a defined shared workspace, validating the safety PLC logic virtually.
With the push toward remote work and global engineering teams, 2301 offers better data synchronization with . This enables teams to view simulation results and 3D markups through a web browser, streamlining the feedback loop between the design office and the shop floor. Why Upgrade to 2301?
: The path editor received updates for increased usability, allowing for direct editing of multiple location parameters. The robotics functionality also includes a new PLC external connection for Mitsubishi Electric PLCs, expanding the options for virtual commissioning.
