The photo-eye sensor is a reusable 3D sensors component for machine detection and process measurement points. In this simulator it converts a physical condition into PLC-readable feedback.

Load the interactive model when you are ready to rotate, inspect and operate it. Deferring WebGL keeps the reference page fast.
Its visible state changes with simulated I/O, making status and diagnosis readable in the scene.
Commission it by proving detecting before accepting the next sequence state.
Inject stuck-on, stuck-off, misaligned states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.

Fault and recovery exercise
Inject stuck-on, stuck-off, misaligned states and require the PLC sequence to detect, stop and recover deliberately.
The model teaches PLC sequence behaviour and diagnosis. Confirm ratings, wiring, guarding, process calculations and commissioning limits against the real manufacturer documentation and site design.
Free first success
