In this work, an off-line simulation approach for simultaneously handling the discrete-event and motion oriented aspects of flexible manufacturing systems (FM) is presented. A concept for signal handling in a discrete-event simulation based on Petri Nets and a proposed interface to motion simulation is outlined. The description of motion simulation covers the introduction of a unique interface developed for robot simulation is used.
