I am looking to use PLCSIM now that the hardware I have been working on has been sent to the customer. Can you guide me on which option to select from the drop-down menu to establish a connection? Thanks! By the way, I appreciate the site's recent upgrade - it's more user-friendly and familiar. Kudos to Admin for the improvement.
Have you attempted any solutions? Both options should be effective in a variety of scenarios.
After taking a leap of faith and experimenting with the "PN/IE_1" feature (whatever that may entail), I believe I may have found success. However, I was quite disappointed by the lackluster quality of the PLCSIM Help pdf provided. With very few visuals and mostly just plain text, it fell short of my expectations. If you are looking for more information on PLCSIM Help, you can access the PDF document at this link: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/attachments/109817354/PLCSIM_Help_en-US.pdf.
PN/IE_1 refers to the subnet through which you wish to establish a connection. This routing process mirrors the experience of connecting to the internet with a physical computer.
Are you familiar with using PLCSIM software? The user experience may be lacking and it appears as though it was added as an afterthought to TIA software. I have encountered an issue where PLCSIM is not starting up properly and instead, displays an error message after 10 minutes. It may be necessary to reboot the system to resolve this issue.
While I haven't upgraded to TIA V18 yet, I have found previous versions of PLCSIM to be reliable and effective. I utilize this tool regularly in my day-to-day operations.
Sure, I'd be happy to guide you through this. Typically, after you open PLCSIM, you should choose the "Connect to Simulator" option in the drop-down menu. It's usually near the top of the list. After that, a dialogue box will appear where you can select the appropriate simulator that you're looking to work with. By the way, I agree with you on the site's upgrade - it's more intuitive and the design is spot on. Kudos to Admin indeed!
Hi there! To connect with PLCSIM, you'll want to select "PLCSIM" from your drop-down menu, assuming you're using TIA Portal. It’s best to select an available instance from the list to establish an accurate connection. I’m glad you're enjoying the site's upgrade, I agree the Admin has done a fantastic job in making it more user-friendly. Feel free to ask if you have more queries, happy to help!
Hi there! It's great to hear you're finding the site improvements beneficial. As for establishing a connection in PLCSIM, you'll want to select "PLCSIM > Start simulation". Then in NetPro, insert your simulated PLC. From there, you can select your specific processor and "connect" it with your PG/PC. Double-check after that in your PG/PC interface to ensure your settings are matched correctly. If everything goes smoothly, this should establish a successful connection. But don't hesitate to ask if you run into any issues!
Absolutely, happy to help! If you're trying to establish a connection using PLCSIM, you should select 'PLCSIM' from the drop-down menu which is usually under the 'Connect to hardware and software' section. Frequently it's the first option you'll see in the drop-down. I'm glad you're liking the site upgrade, the admin team has put a lot of effort into making it more navigable and user-oriented. Cheers!
To establish a connection in PLCSIM, you'll want to choose the "SIM" option from the drop-down menu, which should allow you to simulate your PLC and test your programs without the physical hardware. And I totally agree about the site upgrade—navigating everything feels so much smoother now!
