Detailed Description

Simulates a PLC-controlled CNC loading and unloading station with robotic handling.

This component demonstrates a complete industrial automation cycle including material handling, CNC machining, and robotic load/unload operations. It simulates the PLC logic for coordinating between entry conveyor, robot, CNC machine, and exit conveyor systems.

Key Features:

Automatic and manual operation modes with emergency stop functionality
State machine control for robot, conveyor, and CNC operations
Configurable machine cycle times and operation parameters
Safety interlocks and proper door control sequences
Physics-based timing that respects Unity's Time.timeScale

Common Applications:

Virtual commissioning of CNC loading systems
Training operators on automated machine tending
Testing PLC logic before deployment
Demonstration of industrial automation workflows

Integration Points:

Works with PLCInputBool and PLCOutputBool signals for PLC integration
Can operate standalone or with external PLC control
Compatible with robot programming interfaces
Supports emergency stop and safety systems
