This feature finally allows you to do two things: 1.) Test (simulate) PLC to PLC communication without the need to use "real" PLC's 2.) Test (simulate) your HMI or SCADA system which can now communicate with two or more simulated PLC's without the need to use "real" PLC's I give Siemens 10 out of 10 for (finally) implementing this feature into PLCSIM (as far as I'm concerned this would have warranteda V6.0 relaese of PLCSIM but instead Siemens made a free SP!) Please note thatthere are a few limitations though regarding what Blocks you can use to "simulate"PLC to PLC comms (which I'm sure will be overcome with future relaeses), have a look at the release note of PLCSIM and/or inbuilt help to find out which SFB's are supported as well as this thread.
Honest answer: I don't know and haven't tried this yet either. Why don't you give it a shot and let us know if it works (or maybe someone else out there can cofnirm or deny if this works). |
