Studio 5000 virtual design increases design productivity, reduces risk, and decreases overall project costs. Studio 5000 Logix Emulate is at the core of Studio 5000 virtual design, which enables Machine Prototyping, Throughput Analysis, Virtual Commissioning and Operator Training Solutions (OTS). Logix Emulate provides the ability to validate, test and optimize application code independent of physical hardware. New interface capabilities provide connectivity to 3rd party simulation and Operator Training Systems allowing users to simulate their entire process and train teams in a safe, virtual environment.
