Construction of virtual simulation teaching platform for elevator control

Abstract

Aiming at the deficiencies of the PLC teaching and training platforms in various colleges and universities, in order to meet the needs of students to debug PLC programs in various application places, taking elevator control as an example, this paper uses virtual reality technology, visualization technology, and computer programming technology to design a virtual simulation teaching platform based on PLC elevator control. Students can run the virtual simulation platform on the web page, learn the relevant basic knowledge, understand the operating principle of the elevator, and use the ladder diagram language to program in order to achieve the purpose of learning PLC. The results show that students can write and verify PLC programs anytime and anywhere, which greatly reduces the cost of purchasing training equipment and improves learning efficiency.

Electric power training simulation platform based on virtual reality technology

“…Users use a Web browser to access the Web server and put forward teaching applications. The Web server uses HTTP protocol to transmit the required teaching resources to the client and output them on the browser [6].The second layer is the teaching application function layer -Web server, which is between the Web browser and the database server. It is responsible for the reception of user input information and the formation of dynamic web pages, and mainly completes the training and teaching application function.…”

Analysis of the current situation of the development of virtual reality environments for the teaching of industrial automation systems

“…Wanfeng C. et al, [18] propose the development of a virtual teaching simulation for industrial automation, which consists of programming using ladder language to control an elevator through a PLC in a building. The teaching platform developed in Unity 3D consists of the preparation of the experiment which consists of learning the theoretical foundation and an experimental process where programming is performed in a PLC to control an elevator in a building that has 6 to 10 floors.…”
