Abstract

Two Real-Time monitoring systems were developed with MSComm control in VB6.0 software by accomplishing communication protocols of Fischertechnik-board and Siemens S7-200 PLC. The monitoring systems can fulfill such functions as manual, automatic, stop controlling and reset motion to the manipulator. Moreover, the system can demonstrate an analogue value varying with the time by curve drawing. Animation simulation with Flash playing can synchronize with the physical model motion perfectly.
