Hello Denilson

I have v16 update 3 loaded and plcsim advanced loaded and I still get an error when trying to simulate, I the same popup when trying to sim an hmi or scada

See below:

Any idea why?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Split from WinCC Unified – how to connect the PLC simulation to the HMI simulation?.

Ok so I managed to get the Scada instance to work by doing the following:

i.e. selecting PLCSIM Virtual  Eth, Adaptor see below

And also ticking Siemens PLCSIM virtual switch on my ethernet adaptor for my VM, see below that.

I then selected the PG/PC interface to the ethernet adaptor that I ticked as per above, see last screenshot.

I am happy to continue like this for now...

Maybe this is of help to somebody else

Hello Peter 

I have the same problem since yesterday , and found your post that was helpful,  right now ! Thanks !

My plcsim advanced works good and speaks with the HMI runtime (all simulated on laptop ) ; I can open the plc web browser (chrome as example) ,  ping my plc simulated (192.168.0.1) , ping the virtual ethernet adapter (192.168.0.241) ...

... but impossible to ping the hmi (192.168.0.2), and impossible to access the hmi runtime from a webpage (always chrome as example), with command : 192.168.0.2:5800 

I found this post from 2015, but impossible to make it  https://support.industry.siemens.com/tf/ww/en/posts/setting-up-sm-rtserver-for-simulation/123220?page=0&pageSize=300

Did you  try this to access HMI from a web browser ?

thx

Hello dcastelein

Apologies for the really late reply, I must have missed it in my email maybe 

I didn't try accessing the HMI from my Web Browser no, I was working purely in simulation and couldn't get the HMI to work as a runtime instance like we can with basic and comfort panels, so my only work around was creating a scada instance and testing that way.

Did you manage to get an HMI instance to work? 

Regards

Peter
