Simulation system for control sequence for sheet transportation
First Claim
1. A simulation system for a control sequence for a sheet transportation system, which is adapted to simulate sheet transportation, upon receiving a control sequence formulated for the sheet transportation system, to check how a sheet is to be transported in the sheet transportation system on the basis of the applied control sequence, the simulation system comprising:
- data extraction means for extracting necessary data from hardware systems constituting the real sheet transportation system;
virtual sheet transportation system generation means for generating a virtual sheet transportation system in a computer on the basis of the data extracted by the data extraction means;
sheet representation means for representing a sheet by information indicative of locations of opposite ends of the sheet and a distance therebetween; and
transportation simulation implementation means for moving the sheet represented by the sheet representation means by a predetermined unit distance in the virtual sheet transportation system on the basis of the control sequence.

Abstract
A simulation system is provided which is capable of simulating the behavior of a sheet transported by a transportation system. In response to application of a control sequence formulated for the sheet transportation system, a simulation is performed to check how the sheet is to be transported in the sheet transportation system on the basis of the applied control sequence. Necessary data are extracted from hardware systems constituting the real sheet transportation system. On the basis of the extracted data, a virtual sheet transportation system is constructed in a computer, and the sheet is represented by information indicative of the locations of opposite ends of the sheet and the distance therebetween. The sheet thus represented is moved by a predetermined unit distance in the virtual sheet transportation system on the basis of the control sequence, and data is computed for every movement of the sheet.
