Parity by Grove Automation: Emulation software package

Описание: Parity by Grove.

In-house Emulation.

'Parity' is an emulation software package developed by Grove Automation, using Unity and Customised Real Virtual IO.

By testing the PLC and HMI code against Parity in our office, we have a high-level of confidence before going on site.

The benefits of Parity are:
It reduces site commissioning time.
Project planning is predictable.
It allows hundreds of boxes to be tested on the system with the click of a mouse.

It eliminates the requirement to staff multiple test runs, and the potential product damage.


The ability to repeatedly and easily test:
Sortation accuracy.
Flow conditioning.
Merge functions..
Accumulation and die back.
Gapping and pitching.
Zero line pressure.
Collision detection.
Fault and event recreation.
Fault recovery.
Throughput testing.
Repeated restarts from a saturated system.

System functionality and push button inputs.

It gives the engineer the ability to see the whole system. Rather than an isolated section.
Imagine the difference in this example, of an engineer trying to commission product gapping, on a high-level sorter, with their laptop, in a scissor lift, having to re-load dozens of boxes.
As opposed to emulating in the office with Parity - moving boxes with the click of a mouse!

Parity aids initial system start-up commissioning, as issues are more likely to be electrical or mechanical, focusing the activities.


Parity allows Auto allocation of IO via macros.
Parity is a package utilising Unity, TIA Portal, Solidworks and e-Plan - in a seamless exchange of data.
This eliminates errors, standardises blocks, allows Macro script generation, increases accuracy and repeatability and promotes Kaizen.

Parity has Video recording capabilities, Event logging and a Physics engine for realistic testing conditions.

It allows the engineer to quickly and easily see the impact of speed changes across the system, gaining advantages that would otherwise be difficult and time-consuming to test.

Parity can recreate real world issues to improve system performance.
Show the effect of Testing new products and their impacts.
Identify bottlenecks.
Parity can be your systems digital twin.

Using our approach, Grove Automation has become a trusted, low-risk integrator.
Let Parity take your project to the next level.
