Hello,

I have started to use S7 TCP-IP to connect to TIA Portal with PLCSIM advanced. When I think they are connected and I tried to force a signal at true, in the TIA program I see the corresponding signal blinking irregulary.

Do someone have this problem or how to resolve it?

Dear Thomas.I connect S7-1200 PLC  to unity，but when I import Outputs it is OK，when I import Inputs it doesn't work,I want to make a digital twin project.Can I just read the inputs and I can change the models depend the inputs status,I don't write it or change it.If my unity models want to know the inputs status,what should I do?

Hello!Dear Thomas!

When I Enable Interact，it shows:

But I have buy it and I can't add component like the video(

Accurate Physics with Game4Automation

)My unity is 2020.3.4 and game4automation professional is running well.

Hello , 

I just buy Game4automation pro and conveyor but i can´t install . 

My instalation fail . I try to follow the manual but without sucess.

According the manual  new menu should appears but on my case it dont appears :

https://game4automation.com/documentation/current/installation.html#Check-if-a-new-menu-is-available

I can import the package from the store but not like the same procedure that is on the manual .

I just press on the bottom import  on the store.

Hi, 

is it possible to implement some kind of share space into the forum or website, where users can upload their custom made scripts to extend the functionality of the implemented behavior scripts?

I write in S7 interface in DB1.DBX1.0  but on PLC it is writing in DB1.DBX1.1

Hello

I played a little bit with the conveyor and the sensor form the starter tutorial. I noticed that if a MU is occupying the sensor and then I delete the MU either manually or with a think, the sensor continues to be occupied. In order for the sensor to be free, I first need to move the MU out of the sensor collision box and then I can delete it. In my opinion the senor shouldn't remain occupied if the MU that occupies the sensor is deleted.

Here is solution for S7PLC connect to PLCSIM Compact, comment in S7Interface disconection timeout.

SetPDU to 10 (working not stable and max 5 byte in, 5 byte out)

And using Nettoplcsim-S7o-v-1-2-4-0 program

Some features in configs NetToPlcsim

start.cmd

//

sc stop "S7DOS Help Service"
START /B NetToPLCSim.exe -f=S7Test.ini -s=NO -autostart

TIMEOUT /T 4
sc start "S7DOS Help Service"
TIMEOUT /T 4
"D:\Program Files\Siemens\Automation\S7-PLCSIM V15_1\Bin\Siemens.Simatic.PlcSim.Compact.exe"

S7Test.ini

//

[Station_1]
Name=PLC#001
NetworkIpAddress=192.168.88.50 //External IP of PLCSIM , adress of Ethernet board
PlcsimIpAddress=192.168.0.1   //internal IP of PLCSIM , not change this one
PlcsimRackNumber=0
PlcsimSlotNumber=0
TsapCheckEnabled=False

And now can connect to PLCSIM
