Hi is there any possibility to connect flexsim to external devices like PLC ?
Yes. Flexsim can connect with outside devices like PLC etc.
Flexsim will have Emulator module and the module is tested as beta.
You can test it in current Flexsim 2017.2.3 verson after downloading the beta module from flexsim download page.
The emulator module has the feature followed;
As a Data Collection Tool
If you have a real system already implemented, you may want to gather data on that system. FlexSim can read in real data from your servers and PLCs and change the model state to reflect the state of your real system. You can use dashboard charts to gather statistics or store data to tables to use for subsequent model runs.
As a Virtual PLC
FlexSim's Process Flow can be used to graphically build ladder logic that simulates the ladder logic used in PLC programming. This can allow you to test a new system before implementing it.
As a Controller
Since FlexSim can communicate with a PLC directly or to a server running on another computer, it can control that system.
