PLCNext Engineer-Simulation mode

Waleed_MSA · January 3

Hi,

Can someone guide me on using simulation mode for writing code and testing logic? I activated simulation mode in PLCnext Engineer 2022.0.4 for AXCF1152, as I don't have the hardware available. I’ve followed tutorials on configuring I/O modules, but they all demonstrate with actual controllers.

Hello,

the simulation only simulates the PLC itself but not any I/O modules, neither Axioline nor Profinet. In simulation mode it is only possible to test the code without any I/Os.

Dear Waleed,

Please see below link for PLCNext engineer simulation help:

Kindly let me know for any clarification.

Thanks and Regards,

Thank You Stefan Brinkmann and ramesh_pxc

Stefan Brinkmann This means I have to code first and then turn on simulation mode? AS i am new to this tech, so do guide, thank you

The simulation is just meant to test your code without I/O access. You can always switch between simulation mode and the connection to the physical PLC. The simulation requires an additional installation on your computer. So if you have already written some code, you can test it without hardware.
