Hi all,
Is there a way to use Weintek’s online simulator with the Siemens TIA Portal V19 PLC simulator using the Siemens S7-1200/S7-1500 communication driver (S7CommPlus,
Symbolic Addressing) (Ethernet)?
I tried using the NetToPlcSim tool, but without success. It seems that NetToPlcSim only works with TIA Portal v13. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced
I have already tested the EasyBuilder Pro OPC UA simulation using an OPC UA client (UA Expert), and the Weintek OPC UA server is correctly discovered, with successful node browsing and data reading.
This confirms that:
The Weintek simulator correctly exposes standard Ethernet-based services (such as OPC UA).
The limitation is not on the HMI side.
The issue occurs specifically with S7CommPlus communication when using PLCSIM Advanced, due to the lack of an externally accessible Ethernet interface.
In other words, when the protocol provides a real network endpoint (e.g., OPC UA), simulation works as expected.
