Wandelbots Nova Fanuc CRX
This ModelZoo scene demonstrates the integration of a Wandelbots NOVA controlled robot in a virtual commissioning environment using realvirtual.io.
The robot model used in this scene is a Fanuc CRX-10iA/L. All PLC logic for the entry and exit conveyors is handled entirely inside the simulation, so no external PLC is needed.
To use this model, make sure you have:
Access to Wandelbots NOVA (cloud or local installation)
The robot controller configured for the Fanuc CRX-10iA/L
Interface Configuration
To connect the simulation with a Wandelbots NOVA instance, the following parameters must be set. Open the ⚙️ Settings window in the top menu bar to access these fields:
WandelbotsNOVAInterface.WandelbotsServer
IP address or URL of your Wandelbots NOVA server (e.g. http://172.28.214.72)
WandelbotsNOVAInterface.MotionGroup
The motion group identifier for the robot (e.g. 1@fanuc for a Fanuc CRX-10iA/L)
WandelbotsNOVAInterface.Username
Username for NOVA login
WandelbotsNOVAInterface.Password
Password for NOVA login
WandelbotsNOVAInterface.AccessToken
Optional: Only required when connecting to a cloud-hosted NOVA instance
After entering your connection data, activate the interface using the 🔌 connect switch in the menu bar. Once the connection is active, the plug icon will turn green.
💡 Note: The Access Token is not needed for local or offline installations—only for authenticated access to the cloud-based NOVA server.
Signal Mapping
The following digital signals are used for handshaking between realvirtual.io and the Wandelbots NOVA robot:
Inputs (realvirtual.io → NOVA)
di1
Input
Load Cell – triggers robot to load
di2
Input
Unload Cell – triggers robot to unload
di3
Input
Gripper Closed – gripper status
Outputs (NOVA → realvirtual.io)
do1
Output
Robot Is Loading – robot has started loading
do2
Output
Robot Is Unloading – robot has started unloading
do3
Output
Close Gripper – command to close gripper
Robot Programming
The robot behavior must be programmed in Wandelbots NOVA. Use the signal mapping above to define your automation logic and synchronize the robot with the simulation scene.
