Traffic lights are simple devices that are quite common but do you know how they work? In this post I'll try to implement a traffic light...

To continue the topic of motion profiles I would like to present a type of sigmoid function that is kind of useful in the area of...

Set/Reset latches are quite common building blocks. They are also known as bi-stable multivibrators since they maintain two stable...

Finding errors can be overwhelming when working with complex piece of code. So many statements ... tricky logic ... How is this even...

Pick and place operations are quite common in the industry. They are often used in high-volume manufacturing. Let's see how we can...

I create some of my posts based on real customer questions. This one is a perfect example. The question was: Why is the IS_PICKED...

While working on SCL I got this idea of doing OLP with scripts. If you think about it the scripting approach is a direct match for...

To continue the topic of custom motion profiles I'll try to implement the built-in MOVE_JOINT_TO_VALUE FB with a script. The script will...

Recently I got into an interesting dilemma. The MOVE_JOINT_TO_VALUE FB is meant to be the way to move a joint based on the standard...

Ever since we introduced the CREATE_PART_APPEARANCE/ DELETE_PART_APPEARANCE SCL functions, we had a problem - how to get the names of the...

Palletization is a term used to describe the process of placing materials and packages onto pallets. Usually this is a use case for OLP...

It has been a while since we had this gap. The bit indexers were simply not implemented in the context of array elements. The syntax was...

In Process Simulate SCL scripts execute periodically. The period is provided by the sampling rate - "LB update rate" as we know it. Users...

Kinematics is often referred to as the "geometry of motion". It relies on initial conditions (known values) of position velocity and/or...

This one will be really short. When working with FMUs / SCL scripts we often ask the user to put them in a dedicated folder (vault) as a...

There are two approaches to solving a problem in computing that requires visiting a lot of states. Iterative and recursive. The iterative...

External connections are core part of the virtual commissioning capabilities of Process Simulate. They allow us to communicate with 3rd...

When debugging scripts you may want to alter the state of a variable to see the effect it has on the code. Until v2408 this was only...

A noise generator by definition produces a random signal. In the software world this usually means generating pseudo-random numbers. One...

As the name suggests this is a device that measures frequency. It counts the number of pulses in a periodic signal per second. Internally...
