Posted 14 Dec 2017 When we simulate a plc program we have to manually input the changes in input(like magnetic reed switch) For example when a cylinder goes from up to down reed turn OFF and reed down turns ON Is there any program available where we can define such things that will turn on and off during the process automatically.

Posted 14 Dec 2017 If you really need that capability then connect a second PLC and write a simulation program strictly for testing. I have done that before on the rare occasion where I needed active simulation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 19 Dec 2017 Sysmac Studio can do that with the NJ/NX Series, but the older units didn't have such features. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 21 Dec 2017 You have this "game" called Factory IO. It is more like a learning environment, but it can simulate simple moving parts and give feedback to the PLC via an I/O device connected to the computer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
