To achieve the highest level of software quality, functions should be simulated and tested during the configuration and engineering phase. ​With SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced, virtual controllers can be created to simulate S7-1500 and ET 200SP controllers and used for extensive function simulation. In addition, the virtual controllers can also be tested and validated in the context of a system/machine. An extensive API is available for connection to plant/machine simulations.
