- The FAQ rules out plain S7-PLCSIM V17–V20, which it says has no documented interface for external applications.
Field notes
The simulator's FAQ gives concrete setup requirements: enable “Permit access with PUT/GET communication” in TIA Portal and use data blocks without optimized block access. The page also describes loads moving through friction, allowing them to slip, queue, and jam. An illustrated workflow shows a PDF layout and spreadsheet tag table being used to build a sorting line; four mapped signals still need confirmation in that example.
