Abstract

We propose a framework for teaching complex industrial automation concepts with the help of Virtual/Augmented reality. Initially we construct the needed 3D models like conveyors belts, and liquid tanks to be used as testbed examples for the proposed approach and afterwards with the use of the appropriate engine and the Virtual Reality headset we create the enriched virtual and augmented reality use cases to support higher education students better understand complex industrial automation concepts. As this is an initial framework proposal, an extended literature review providing the needed background information on the status and progress of the Virtual and Augmented reality for educational and not only purposes is provided. The proposed system’s architecture is in detail explained and use cases where the proposed approach can be used are presented. An overview of the IEC 61499 framework is also presented since it is the underlying framework for supporting the industrial automation concepts.

使用虚拟/增强现实教学工业自动化概念- IEC 61499案例

我们提出了一个框架，在虚拟/增强现实的帮助下，教授复杂的工业自动化概念。最初，我们构建了所需的3D模型，如传送带和液体罐，用作拟议方法的测试平台示例，然后使用适当的引擎和虚拟现实耳机，我们创建了丰富的虚拟和增强现实用例，以支持高等教育学生更好地理解复杂的工业自动化概念。由于这是一个初步的框架提案，因此提供了一份扩展的文献综述，提供了关于虚拟和增强现实的现状和进展所需的背景信息，不仅用于教育目的，而且还用于其他目的。详细解释了所建议的系统体系结构，并给出了可以使用所建议的方法的用例。还介绍了IEC 61499框架的概述，因为它是支持工业自动化概念的底层框架。
