02 Description

    EKTS is a simulator for designing Electromechanical Systems. It allows you to design variety of electromechanical systems using relays, time relays, buttons, motors, switches and some basic mechanical systems. EKTS allows building custom motor circuits using different motor types in different quantities. Main usage of this simulator is aiming to teach basics of Electromechanical systems, therefore it have error pointing feature which shows exact location of error and cause of that produces error. Other useful feature is listing all used circuit elements for calculating price and defining parts that will be used. EKTS doesn't calculate current flaw and power distribution in through circuit elements therefore it doesn't guarantee having same result in real environment. We strongly recommend having approval of supervisor before applying designed circuits on real environment.

03 Requirements

To install and run EKTS Microsoft .NET Framework is required. Microsoft .NET Framework file dotnetfx.exe can be downloaded from Microsoft web site.

How to get .NET Framework

• .NET Framework Version 2.0
• .NET Framework Version 1.1
• Install Through Windows Update
• search for .NET Framework redestributible

04 Future Suggestions

• Make animated and interactive flash (swf) output of designed circuit for using in presentations and web sites
• Calculate current flaw through connections
• Add motor electronic specifications and load motors with some force
• Allow to build custom systems like manufacturing robotics with variety of sensors and mechanical parts
