hi

v5.6

Hello hamed;

Searching on the web will bring up a number of videos showing how to connect FluidSim to a S7 controller. 

For Simatic Manager:

For TIA Portal:

The videos both seem to be developped in vietnamese, but you can get a good idea of how to set the S7 with FluidSim by followwing the screen images.

Hope this helps,
