Hello, I recently start learning to program plc's and now i find myself trying to link the CX-Simulator with a software called Factory I/O wich is a simulator of a line of production, the problem is the factory I/O software it's design to connect fisicly with a PLC, no need of anything else, but i don't have a physic PLC in home there's anyone with experience in this kind of issue?
I want to know if it's a way to connect the two softwares in modbus.
like simulating an ethernet connection maybe?
Thanks for the Help.
Cordial Regards.
Good morning
I recommend Factory IO and there is possibility to work on Factory IO without physical PLC, you just need to have in Tia Portal option Simulations PLCSIM and then you can link everything together with library from Factory IO

Good luck
