is a virtual robot controller designed for offline programming and simulation of KUKA robots on a standard PC. It provides a work environment that mimics the physical KUKA System Software (KSS), allowing users to create, test, and optimize robot programs without needing a physical robot. Core Features
While OfficeLite is powerful, it is resource-intensive. Because it runs a real-time operating system as a guest on a Windows host, performance is highly dependent on the host hardware.
A key feature in V5.2 is the robust handling of I/O (Input/Output). Users can configure virtual I/O drivers to simulate PLC communication. This allows engineers to test handshaking protocols with external systems (via Profinet or EtherCAT simulation) and debug safety interlocks without risking damage to a cell.
