Our vendor just offered me a demo of FT Logix Echo and I'm really interested in how you guys apply simulation software. My understanding is I can simulate an MER file and an ACD file on my PC. But if you're in a situation where the machine isn't present or is in design phase - how are simulating the machine actually running with I/O? My first though is that you need to setup your I/O on timers or sequencing - that wouldn't be included in the commissioned program but was created for the purpose of simulation only.. which could be a lot of work.
Just curious how other people use simulation software in their design phase.
