Issue:
Can I use the Vijeo Designer simulator to connect to the Physical HMISCU's CoDeSys PLC engine to read data?
Product Line:
Magelis HMISCU, Vijeo Designer, SoMachine / EcoStruxure Machine Expert
Resolution:
No, it is not possible to use the Vijeo Designer simulator on the PC to communicate to the Physical HMISCU's PLC. The reason for that is because in the Vijeo Designer I/O Manager, the SoMachine driver does have a PLC address/node name to externally connect from the PC Simulated Runtime to the Physical HMI - since by design, the HMI and PLC run in the same physical device. Therefore the Vijeo Designer simulator will not be able to find the PLC to establish a connection.
