Using the contextual menu "Virtual Mechanism - Activators - Motors", it is possible to load one or more motors (up to 20) on the screen work area
The characteristics of a motor are selected from the following window. Select the motor‘s parameters, and the chosen motor will react according to the electric diagram shown on the right-hand side.
Placing the motor on the work area is done with the functions "Drag and Drop" by maintaining the Shift key pressed.
The interactive behaviour of the motor and the thermal overload relay associated depends on the choice of the electric power wiring diagram, on the programming adopted and on the behaviour of the driven mechanisms.
Six circuits de puissances sont proposés, celui-ci s'adapte selon la sélection.
1. Command of a three-phase asynchronous motor : direct-on-line start, one way
2. Command of a three-phase asynchronous motor : direct-on-line start, two-way rotation
3. Command of a three-phase asynchronous motor : star-delta starting, one way rotation
4. Command of a three-phase asynchronous motor: star-delta starting, two-way rotation
5. Command of a three-phase asynchronous motor with 2 separate windings : two speeds, one way rotation
6. Command of a three-phase asynchronous motor with 2 separate windings : two speeds, two-way rotation
Warning: Any wrong command can generate a short-circuit, or triggers the thermal overload relay as it happens in real life
The motor can also be equipped with an incremental rotary encoder which will generate a periodic signal which is a function of the rotation speed.
The incremental rotary encoder is "to be dropped" from the toolbox and placed on the motor.
Colours vary according to the activation and to the sense of rotation, but not for the animation simulating the rotation of the motor shaft :
In Stop mode CW rotation CCW rotation
All configurations allowed for motors are provided, it’s up to you to select them and build.
