SIMATIC Machine Simulator - An introduction to PLCSIM Advanced & SIMIT

The SIMATIC Machine Simulator brings together PLCSIM Advanced the SIMIT Simulation software package so that you can virtually commission your machines without the need for a real-world prototype.
With SIMATIC Machine Simulator, you can recognise in a very early development phase whether the electrical & automation systems of your machine are behaving as expected.
PLCSIM Advanced is particularly useful as you can easily write the automation code for your new machine and upload it into a virtual controller to test and optimise your control logic, without the need for any physical hardware.
The SIMATIC Machine Simulator software also enables you to simulate error scenarios and optimise machine behaviour in the event of a component failure.
In this 20 minute tutorial video, we will help to familiarise you with SIMATIC Machine Simulator and how you can get started if you have never used this software before.
In this demo we will be covering:
• The differences between PLCSIM and PLCSIM Advanced
• The SIMIT user interface and its similarities to the TIA Portal
• How to link your PLC signals to SIMIT via a ‘coupling’
• How PLCSIM Advanced feeds into SIMIT
• How PLC Inputs & Outputs are simulated in SIMATIC Machine Simulator
• How to add in Safety modules and other additional control objects
• How to test PLC code (including integrated safety)
• A demonstration of how you can incorporate physical hardware
• And more
