CX Designer Simulator

I can simulate a screen with a virtual PLC. Is there a way to simulate a screen with an actual PLC attached via the serial port? Thanks!

Yes you can, from version 2 on. With questions on software capabilities it always helps to mention the version info! See the CX-Designer users manual which you can access from the start menu programs folder of CX-Designer. See chapter 4-13-2 "Debugging Screens and the User Program with the Actual PLC". Hope this helps!

Hi Mike31 In CXProgrammer there is a icon for the simulator. Download the plc program to the simulator. In CX-designer there is a test icon select test to simulator and her you go. Banker
