I hope these quick tips will help you get started using PLCSIM Advanced. To do this, right click on the project (in the example below, RFID Test), select properties, and then navigate to protection. To download to PLCSIM Advanced, you will need to check the box to “support simulation during compilation.” To use library blocks, you must check this box and compile before adding the block to the library. Refer to the graphic below for more details on the different communication interfaces.

This is a requirement for simulating an OPC server. If you are testing OPC communication or web server simulation, make sure to use the PLCSIM Virtual Ethernet Adapter. Tip Four: Use The PLCSIM Virtual Ethernet Adapter To fix this error, change your device firmware to 2.0 or older. Currently, if you have a PLC with version 2.1, you will receive an error code of “0020 0 2 0”. Make sure your PLC firmware is a version before 2.1. As of V14, PLCSIM Advanced does not support any other PLC’s or distributed IO. Make sure you are simulating an S7-1500 PLC or an ET200SP. Make sure to use the network adapter you selected in the above step (PLCSIM or PLCSIM Virtual Ethernet Adapter) Download from Portal as if you were downloading to regular PLC.Assign Name, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and start the PLC.In the standard PLCSIM, you can simulate using the icon in Portal, while in PLCSIM Adv, you have to follow a few more steps I’ve laid out the process step-by-step below.

Tip One: Downloading To PLCSIM Advancedĭownloading to PLCSIM Advanced is a little different for a developer accustomed to using PLCSIM. Overall, PLCSIM Advanced implements many improvements over PLCSIM including simulation for the web server, OPC UA, distributed IO, and many more.īelow are a couple tips and tricks I’ve used to get started with PLCSIM Advanced. Siemens' S7-PLCSIM Advanced allows simulation of functions while configuring and engineering without a physical connection.
