Usage of AB Simulation software

[I Believe I can Fly 0]

Generally we use Softlogix5000 and RSEmu5000 as ControlLogix program logic test plantform. What about IO? I mean what do you usually do with 1789-SIM 32 points IO inserted in simulated chassis? We're now constructing a application DEMO which we now think has including SoftLogix5k program, Intouch HMI. What else shall we include? Can we emulate on-site objects such as tanks, pumps, valves? I have designed some of motors PID loops with simple mathmatic algorithm in Logix ladder program, can i have alternative choice? Thanks for any comments.

just for testing the PLC program you can use Rs Emu 5k as processor still you have change the states of the inputs by forcing or toggling. same action can be done by using Rs Test stand where you can provide the real field data to the PLC.
