PLCSim issue

Hello! I'm having an issue with configuring the Nettoplcsim driver. When using PLCSim in "RUN" mode, the input signals don't work correctly. However, everything functions properly when switched to STOP mode.

I've tried different versions of PLCSim and STEP7 on various operating systems, local (127.0.0.1) and network connections. The result is always the same.


Could you advise how to fix this? :(

When you are simulating, your PLC should not have any physical I/O cards configured.

Even with just the CPU 315 in the configuration (no additional modules i/o), I'm still getting the exact same error. You provide configuration videos for TIA Portal, but I need to set it up for Step7 and PLCSim (for CPU 300/400 series). Do you have an updated configuration guide specifically for PLCSim with S7-300/400 CPUs?


I can see this used to work flawlessly in the past:

Where can I obtain the installation file for the Simatic S7 Driver?


Your current documentation appears outdated, as these modules are no longer available in the specified configuration. It's extremely difficult for beginners to figure out your product.  :-\

This is due S7 is very old and hardly anyone uses it.
The S7 PLCSIM driver hasn't been updated because it's already been superseded by the new versions of TIA Portal.
