How do i connect this to Machine Simulator??
You have to add the Machines Simulator driver to EasyPLC;
Then send the I/O from one driver to other, example:
if RemotePanel is driver #0 and Machines Simulator is driver#1, then
In script code this sentence:
for(int f=0; f<8; f++)
{
// Write RemotePanel Outputs with Machines Simulator Input states
WriteOutput(0, f, ReadInput(1, f));
// Write Machines SImulator Outputs with RemotePanel Inputs
WriteOutput(1, f, ReadInput(0, f));
}
