In the meantime, I am going to share with you a series of FAQs that may help you. - "How do you start S7-PLCSim in STEP 7 (TIA Portal)?" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/61931797 - "Testing and simulating HMI projects (TIA Portal) in conjunction with SIMATIC controllers, PLCSIM and PLCSIM Advanced" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109748099 - "Getting started with S7-PLCSIM Advanced and simulation tables" https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109759047 Best regards!

Downloaded the application you mentioned for the simulation tables in plcsim advanced. I can donwload, but I cannot import the tags from the controller or even insert a tag from my own. Also the application tends to crash after a while. Then tried with plcsim basic v17. This seems to work, but is unbelievable slow after downloading the plc. When waiting long enough > 10 min, plcsim basic is ok again. Already reinstalled plcsim basic and tried with the version with and without update 1. What can be wrong? Another question, as I am now working on plcsim basic, can Plcsim continuously write a safety input with the value (or inverse value) of some safety output, f.i. for checkback of a contactor?
