CitectScada to Simatic PLCSIM

Dear Guys;

Please help me, I'd like to simulate my S7.400 using PLCSIM, is it posible CitectScada communication to PLCSIM by MPI?

Hi Yoki.

Unfortunately that is not possible.
PLCSIM works in the way that it "steals" the access point for MPI, and this only functions with Siemens own products such as STEP7, Protool and WinCC Flexible.

Hi Jesper;

Thanks for your reply.

So is there any tool/software to simulate PLC/IO connect to CitectScada?

Best Regards,

Yoki

Simulating PLC with Citect SCADA

You can simply change your Citect SCADA Port Name (Communication / IO Devices) from say Port1 (or whatever you have called your Port)
to DISKDRV or MEMORY and you will be able to run Citect SCADA as
though it is talking to a PLC. Use DISKDRV if you want values to be retained or MEMORY if you don't want values to be retained from one running of Citect to another.
Of course you will have no PLC function simulation just simulation of the data transfer to and from the PLC. I find this very useful when setting up Citect SCADA if no PLC is available at the time.

There are also 3rd party simulation softwares.

I am not sure that you can use Citect in connection with it, but it is worth investigating.
