SignalSim – The Official Simulator for the NAST Automation 5 LED Smart Signal Tower Planning to integrate a PATLITE signal light into your Universal Robots cobot cell? SignalSim lets you fully test the signal tower's functionality – before purchasing the hardware. ——— HOW DOES IT WORK? ——— The app connects via TCP/IP to your UR robot controller (with the NAST Automation URCap installed incl. test key). All control commands that the URCap would send to a real PATLITE signal tower are received by SignalSim and displayed as a visual simulation in real time. ——— WHAT IS SIMULATED? ——— → 5 LED segments with configurable signal colors (Red · Yellow · Yellow-Green · Green · Blue · White · Magenta) → Flash function per segment → Buzzer indicator → Status feedback to the robot controller → Clear command (reset all LEDs) ——— REQUIREMENTS ——— → Universal Robots cobot with PolyScope 5 or PolyScope X (UR Series: UR8L · UR15 · UR18 · UR20 · UR30 | e-Series: UR3e · UR7e · UR12e · UR16e) → NAST Automation URCap incl. test key (available free of charge at nast-automation.de) → Wi-Fi connection on the same network as the robot → iOS 15 or later ——— WHO IS THIS APP FOR? ——— → System integrators looking to demonstrate the signal solution to customers → Production planners who want to validate the UR integration upfront → End customers and prospects evaluating before purchasing → URCap developers who want to test without physical hardware ——— ABOUT NAST AUTOMATION ——— NAST Automation is a UR+ developer of Universal Robots. The 5 LED Smart Signal Tower is available in the official UR Marketplace and is delivered including the URCap. The URCap incl. test key is available free of charge at nast-automation.de.
