The Flexsim PLC Controls Suite enables the connection of Programmable Logic Controllers to Simulations, which can greatly reduce controls commissioning time in the field. Most other emulation products require the use of complex software drivers that must be purchased for each type of PLC used (OPC or DDE Servers). While the Flexsim PLC Controls Suite can operate with these drivers, its open architecture allows you to use other services as well, such as: Modbus, Direct Relay Logic, RS-232, Sockets, and others.
The Flexsim PLC Controls Suite enables direct wiring between the PLC and PC/simulation. And since the Flexsim PLC Controls Suite can perform digital I/O directly, you can even use Flexsim as a logic controller itself. Imagine creating a simulation that controls an actual conveyor system or machine – without a PLC!
If your controls programmers have stopped short of using emulation due to the specialized knowledge required to make it work, the Flexsim PLC Controls Suite puts it all within reach. Their investment in understanding I/O and electrical controls is all that they need to connect to Flexsim PLC Controls Suite and test their controls logic. And we guarantee that no program modifications are required to go from the simulation to the final system.
