RE: Does E3D have a Model for the FANUC CRX 25?

Hi, I went ahead and marked up the FANUC CRX-25iA Robot this afternoon and uploaded it to Package Manager. Thanks! p.s. Lots of new robot were added to Package Manager over the last year or so. The Emulate3D What's New in 2025 slide deck mentioned all the additions. ---------------------- ...

No, after moving the devices under the Ethernet, you'll then be able to download to the Echo Processor at 192.168.1.3, and then Emulate3D will be able to create a CIP1 connection with this Processor. This is what I've been doing for several years now. -------------------------------------------

It's not working for you because your IO is routed through the EN2T card. FT Logix Echo doesn't emulate EN2T cards nor do any bridging, it only only emulates PLC Processors. For CIP Class 1 connections to be successful, the networking setup has to exactly match the real-world setup. So, to make it ...

I'm a bit confused on your IP Addresses. If you setup a network adapter on 192.168.1.3, then that's the one you should use for the processor in FT Logix Echo. I'm my machine I've added 192.168.1.3 as the initial IP Address added on the adapter, and then gone into the Advanced section to add as many ...

If you've successfully setup another network adapter on 192.168.1.xxx, then you should be able to using the Windows Command Prompt to ping this IP Address, set the FT Logix Echo Processor to this address, and download to it from Studio 5000. We typically recommend setting up a Microsoft Loopback Adapter ...

RE: Deleting and Creating Loads - Emulate 3D

The Controlled Load Creator's LoadCreationMode defaults to QueueOrder, and the OrderLoad method called by the C# script ends up setting Kinematic to False, and there's not an overload to modify this behavior. However, if you change the LoadCreationMode to CreateNow, the underlying CreateLoad method ...

RE: Motor with assigned Position Controller does not have a property for current speed?

None of the basic Motor Controllers provide continuous feedback on their own, since this would require continuous polling and would waste cpu cycles if this feedback isn't needed. The solution is to add a Motor Encoder to the Motor and select whatever feedback value is required. In this case, you can ...

RE: Load Creator Visual List Manipulation

Yes, there is a way to modify the Load Creator's Items list. The hardest part is figuring out the right syntax, since the Items property currently isn't set to be a public property in scripting. However, it can still be accessed by typing it in when writing the script. In the screenshot below, I iterate ...

RE: Cannot emulate safety symbol : Error

The message is telling you that E3D can't write to safety symbols when there's a locked safety signature, so you need to remove/disable the signature during testing. -------------------------------------------

To write to an external data source, a Bindable Item needs to be created in E3D, and then be bound to the external data using the IO Browser. A Custom Property and Simple Property are by default Bindable Items, so in the C# script example below I created a Simple Property on a Box Visual with the proper ...

Question #1. The visual variable in your code is of type Visual... which doesn't have a Visible property that can be changed. Further inheritance provides the Visible property, so you need to cast the visual variable to a MeshObject or lower as shown in our API documentation. https://sim3d.com/api ...

E3D is an event based software, so each property update event is unique and distinct from other property update events. To wait until multiple properties have been updated before executing an action, logic will need to be written that compares the current values of the properties with the old values ...

Hi, The PowerFlex 527 Drive is a CIP Motion Drive, and the recommended method for emulating CIP Motion drives (i.e. Kinetix) is to enable the drive's Test Mode functionality in Studio 5000 Logix Designer and then map the ActualPosition tag a Visual in E3D. The E3D Visual could be a Kinematic ...

All released versions of the Allen-Bradley Velocity Drives catalog have been DLL'd, and therefore only work with the specified E3D year'd version. So for instance, the 5.x.x version of the catalog will only work with E3D 2025 but not E3D 2026. Why is this? All E3D scripts need to be recompiled whenever ...

Yes, this is the intended behavior. The Position Controllers have been released for many years and were designed to move to the specified Target Position without receiving a "move command", and we have to maintain this behavior so that all old models operate exactly as they did previously. ...

Friedrich's reply is a way to tackle this using scripting. It seems like all you're trying to do is to propagate property values from one object to the next. A non-coding way to do this is to use the Wiring catalog. Wiring Catalog Add a Wiring Diagram to a model, add each Visual to the ...

Hi, Custom Properties or already Bindable Items, so there's no need to create additional properties. The simplest solution is to use the OnUpdated event for each Custom Property to call another common function. Below is example code I added to a BoxVisual. using Demo3D.Native; using ...

This is a Visual Studio problem. We reported it to Microsoft earlier this year, but unfortunately, there's been no progress on their part to fix it. https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Net9:-Detaching-debugger-when-hitting-a/10866875? https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/116870 ...
