The concept of Virtual Commissioning (VC) has become one of the most essential phases in the development and simulation of automated manufacturing processes.
By creating a digital copy of the real system installment, companies have the ability to test out more complex scenarios using robots and complicated mechanics design, greatly decreasing the startup time of the plant and shortening the product’s time to market, while increasing the overall quality at the same time.
This video will present a quick study on how to connect a simulation with 4 Kuka robots to a PLCSIM Advanced" instance.
All the decisions and controls will be taken on the PLCSIM software. We chose this approach since it enables us to digitize every equipment and validate both simulation and PLC code using just one computer.

Conceptul de Virtual Commissioning (VC) a devenit una dintre cele mai importante etape în dezvoltarea și simularea proceselor automatizate de fabricație.
Prin crearea unei copii digitale a asistemului de fabricaţie real, companiile au posibilitatea de a testa scenarii mai complexe folosind roboți și diverse ansable mecanice, reducând timpul de pornire al instalației și scurtarea timpului de introducere pe piață al produsului, mărind în același timp calitatea generală a produsului.
Acest videoclip va prezenta un studiu rapid privind conectarea unei simulări cu 4 roboţi Kuka la o instanță PLCSIM Advanced.
Toate deciziile vor fi luate pe software-ul PLCSIM. Am ales această abordare deoarece ne permite să digitalizăm fiecare echipament și să validăm simularea și codul PLC folosind doar un singur computer.

Great stuff, thank you!

nice video

nice video. I need to do something similar using TIA Portal and Process Simulate. Could you tell me if you used any guides for setting up your project in PS and how you connected TIA Portal to PS?

Hello Marvin,
The guides that were used to build this simulation consist in the official training material that Siemens provides on the subject.
Also, in this video we connected PS to PLCSIM Advanced. Since it is a software that emulates a PLC, we used it to control the simulation. I am using TIA Portal just to monitor and force the Signals. I also used it to quickly make modifications on the PLC code and download it onto the PLCSIM Advanced instance.
Lastly, Process Simulate has the ability to connect with a wide range of equipment. You can connect a real PLC from any brand using an OPC Server DA or UA (on other projects we used without any issues PLCs from Mitsubishi or Rockwell), SIMIT and Simba Box/Simulation Unit.
If you want to make a specific request, we suggest using the contact from on our website.

NX MCD connected TIA portal,is very simple.if you want virtual plc connect real controller(robot controller ,machine vision),plcsim adv run "Plcsim virtual Eth.Adapter"

[@marvin4307]

You need to be in line simulation in order to connect the virtual PLC right?

[@jiandongfei2794]

I unknow how can use PS,but PLCSIM ADV have OPC.UA ,you can use opc.ua i/o connecting PS.

[@jiandongfei2794]

I have a problem. I can send the signal to "plcsim ADV" but I can not receive the signal from "plcsim ADV".I need your help.

hello jiandong fei. i have the same problem in my project did you manage to solve it ???. I can read signals from PS to TIA but i cant write any signals coming from TIA to PS. Thank you
