Commissioning of a production line in the discrete event simulation software Ururau

Abstract

The aim of this work was to demonstrate the utilization of a discrete event simulation model built with the Ururau software integrated to a programmable logic controller to be applied in commissioning of control systems. The paper also presents different tests to illustrate various possibilities of commissioning with that software. The results showed the viability of the Ururau to be employed with this purpose and the internal mechanism responsible for the communication between a simulation model and a digital controller.
