As a behavior modeling tool, GRAFCET2D allows users to create graphical representations of automated systems. According to research on teaching tools GRAFCET2D
Why should an engineer adopt the GRAFCET2D mindset? ( S1 )────[T1]───>( S2 ) | [T2] v
Consider an automated pick-and-place machine moving over an X-Y grid. A standard GRAFCET struggles to elegantly describe "Move from Zone A to Zone B while simultaneously scanning sensors along the Y-axis." GRAFCET2D solves this by merging two orthogonal charts: A standard GRAFCET struggles to elegantly describe "Move
The rise of (e.g., Siemens NX Mechatronics, Unity Reflect) is the natural habitat for GRAFCET2D. In a digital twin, the virtual machine exists in a perfect 2D (or 3D) physics simulation.
The intuitive 2D graphical interface speeds up the development and implementation of automation projects.
