Electric monorail system
Rail systems with individually controllable trolleys
Rail systems with power and data supply
The rail systems of electrified monorail systems can be modelled completely virtually with the WinMOD-SIMLINE system. For this purpose, there are 3D rail libraries that include straight lines, curves, switches, crossings, lifting and lowering units or turning devices. All these elements can be freely parameterised in size and shape, so that any real track layout can be recreated virtually in 3D. Each of our 3D rail elements has an interface for power and data supply via busbar or bus. It is also possible to report the vehicle status back to the actual track. Of course, you can also attach code tapes to the virtual rails, which are read in real time by the vehicle code readers during virtual commissioning (VIBN).
The combination with other technologies is possible without any problems. This allows you to precisely simulate transfer processes to SKID, push-SKID or even complex marriage stations.
Light and heavy-duty vehicles
The focus of the VIBN of EMS systems is the behaviour of the carriages with their own controllers and the freely programmable, asynchronous travel profiles. Both manufacturer-neutral and specific 3D libraries are available for the carriages.
For heavy-duty vehicles, we simulate the exact driving behaviour of complex drive and castor configurations. The complex frame mechanics as combinations of lifting, rotating, swivelling and folding frames are simulated with geometric accuracy and the associated drive technology. Other important elements in the WinMOD-SIMLINE vehicles are the position and anti-collision sensors as well as code readers for RFID and barcodes.
The real-time electric monorail simulation is certainly one of the centrepieces of the WinMOD-SIMLINE system. It has been tried and tested for many years by well-known car manufacturers.
