question

First off, is it running for you?

If you are having bigger issues with the Emulation tool, contact @Matt Long, he's the developer of this.

Here's a list of different parts to the Emulation tool

There isn't a lot to change in this part except the "Address" which in this case is localhost because we are using a PLC simulation software, but if you connected it with a real PLC, you would chagne that to the IP address of your PLC. PLCs usually use port 502

The Variables tab is where change the settings for your read/write to the PLC or simulation program

This is the Write section where you add events that on triggering it changes values on the PLC

This selects which register you are going to write to

This points to which object you want to read events from. In the case of the example I gave you these are reading the Photo Eyes

Here you decide what you will write to the registers

This part is the Read section, You control what happens in FlexSim based of outputs from the PLC.

Just like with inputs to the PLC, you select which registers you want to read from, and make sure the"Poll for External Changes" is selected so it will always be reading from the PLC.

This area is where you decide what will happen from the outputs you are reading from the PLC.

Hope this is useful!
