Explore digital twin concepts for industrial automation, focusing on interactive 3D models, software-in-the-loop development, and plc to Godot data flow using the tcp ip protocol for static to dynamic visualization.
Explore setting up a scene in Godot, add a 3D node and camera, and enable orbit controls to navigate with the mouse.
Add a world environment and a directional light to the scene, enable ambient light and a skybox, and adjust shadows for a better-looking digital twin.
Explore the Godot 3D node position and rotation to animate digital twins, move objects with velocity and delta time, and expose inspector parameters for circular or oscillatory motion.
Explore how to rotate objects in Godot using Euler angles and Vector3 rotation, control rotation velocity and direction, and apply frame-rate aware updates to the local transform.
Demonstrate changing an object's color in Godot using a C# script: access mesh instance 3D, retrieve its material albedo, and implement a runtime rainbow effect with sine-driven color channels.
Create a digital twin of an articulated robot in Godot and Codesys by importing glb models, applying CSV-based joint transforms, and linking TCP motion for a pick-and-place trajectory.
Master the fundamentals of industrial digital twins for automation with Godot and CoDeSys, learning 3D engine setup, visualization, and PLC integration to simulate and connect industrial machines and robots.
Unlock the future of industrial automation with our cutting-edge course, "Industrial Digital Twins for Automation - Godot and CoDeSys". This course is designed for engineers, developers, and automation enthusiasts who want to harness the power of digital twin technology to create realistic, interactive models of machines and robots, and seamlessly integrate them with PLCs for virtual commissioning and software-in-the-loop (SITL) development.
In this comprehensive course, you will learn how to create and manipulate digital twins using the versatile Godot game engine and connect them to real-time PLC systems using CoDeSys. You will gain practical experience in developing robust automation solutions that can be tested and validated in a virtual environment, eliminating the need for physical hardware during the initial development stages.
To get the most out of this course, students should have a basic understanding of PLC programming and familiarity with the CoDeSys development environment. If you are new to these concepts, we recommend starting with our beginner course on Udemy: "PLC Programming – Learn the Basics with CoDeSys".
By the end of this course, you will have a deep understanding of digital twin technology and its integration with PLC systems. You will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to develop, test, and deploy sophisticated automation solutions in a virtual environment, paving the way for a successful career in industrial automation.
