Jesper and S7Guy have mentioned in recent posts that they always build in Simulators in their projects, to assist in testing.
Until now, I have assumed that this might be practical in a new project, but that it would probably be impractical, or too much work, to incorporate in my current project. Now, however, that following the successful factory acceptance test, I'm about to lose my PLC to the customer on-site, I'm faced with a few months of either travelling to the customer site (5 hours drive away) on a regular basis, or considering implementing some form of simulator to simplify testing.
I'd be grateful for any examples, not just from Jesper and S7Guy, how you've implemented in-built simulators.
