Posted 24 Oct 2016 When you start the simulator it automatically downloads the PLC program to the simulator. Then in CX-Programmer it's no different than if you were online with a real PLC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 24 Oct 2016 You did not mention the PLC (Not all PLC can run the simulator) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 25 Oct 2016 You can not use the simulator for a CPM2A. That's why your simulator menu is grayed out. Hint: You could convert your code to CP1L serie and it will work in simulator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
