Thanks for the video. I bought it before i heard the you had a discount part. Useful tool, trying to learn how to customize it and create systems now that would emulate upcoming projects

[@ShaneWelcher]

So you already bought EasyPLC?

@@ShaneWelcher yes sir. The gentleman i communicated with was Rafael Izquierdo. I love your content , so SO valuable cant believe how long this has been out and just seeing it.

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@jmccabe419 I have more videos coming out in the future for EasyPLC

[@jmccabe419]

@@ShaneWelcher saw you released a new one today with the engine block demo. I have shared your video and this software info with a handful of people I work with in OEM machine builds engineers at GM etc . I hope to only get as good as you Sir

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@jmccabe419 Thank you for the help, really appreciate it. Hope all is well. If you like these, you like the ones coming out in the next few weeks. Saturday will be EasyPLC tutorial day for a little while

Thanks for the 10% off, I finally got the USB key in the mail and am starting to setup the software. Do you have a video of setting up the Drivers with studio emulate?

EasyPLC Machine Simulator OPC Setup With Studio 5000 Using RSLinx kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2e8l4KEgNB0r6s

[@VincenzoGala]

Hello Shane, I see in your video you use a pushbutton in MS to set the variable StartPB in the PLC. This is an internal variable and everything works fine. But, I if would set, with that pushbutton, a Physical input, it will not work. This means that I necessarily have to add an internal variable for each Physical input and then put them in an OR function??? I think it's very strange. Is there an alternative way? Because I have to test an old software, I'm not writing it right now. I'm working with Studio5000 and I'm using Logix Echo for the simulation. Thank you in advance.

[@ShaneWelcher]

My start PB is a seal in circuit so it will work on a standard hardwired push button, this design is for momentary push button design.

[@VincenzoGala]

@@ShaneWelcher Sorry, I don't understand what you mean (my bad, i'm not so good in english...). I see that your pushbutton tag is NOT an alias of a physical address. So, how you point a Physical address from MS? Is the only thing I can't do. And the only thing I would to know... In my project I had done in this way (point aliases of physical addresses) and it didn't work. I had to create some internal variables and point to those from MS, and now it works.

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@VincenzoGala This is just an example, no it is not aliased. Although in the real world it would be

[@VincenzoGala]

​@@ShaneWelcher OK, now my only doubt is: Is it possible to point an alias of a Physical address from MS? If not, which is the solution? Thank you very mutch for you kindness

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@VincenzoGala When you build a tag that is when you Alias it. MS has nothing to do with it. Studio 5000 is it's own software, build a tag and if it needs to be aliased then do so, if not then don't

Hi, I don't know how connect Machines Simulator, installed on the phisical PC, with RSLinx on a Virtual Machine. Any suggestion?

[@ShaneWelcher]

It needs to be installed on the computer that has the Rockwell Automation software on it

[@VincenzoGala]

@@ShaneWelcher Neither if I connect Machines Simulator to Kepware on the same PC and then connect Kepware to RSLinx on the VM? In my mind is possibile 😅😅😅 but I'm having problems to connect Kepware on the Physical Machine to RSLinx on the VM, and I don't understand how could I do

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@VincenzoGala There is no reason to add another OPC like Kepware. Jusy use the Machine Builder OPC setup

[@VincenzoGala]

​@@ShaneWelcher Thanx very mutch for relpy, but I really need to have Machine Simulator on the real PC and Logix Emulate on the VM. I can't find this Machine Builder OPC Setup, and I don't need to use necessarily Kepware, of course, I could use any OPC Client, but the problem I have is that I can't see VM OPC Server from the real PC, so I think there is some problem with DCOM and/or with the firewall o something like this... So also with other OPC client I will have the same problem, that's why I need to solve this problem indipendently from which OPC client I use

What is their price without a discount to have a ballpark number?

[@ShaneWelcher]

Depending if you want a single license or a dongle lic which you can use anywhere, between $75 to $100. One-time payment. A great value. Great way to learn. If you go through my email then you get a 10% discount. That is completely up to you, I am just trying to help everyone wanting to learn save money. Being helpful.

[@darthenx2585]

@@ShaneWelcher For sure I really appreciate the help and everything you do for the community. I just recently branched off on my own business doing automation programming and process line design, and this software would come in handy. Just need a couple months to make some money. Thank you

[@camarojunky4853]

Interesting, I work as a systems integrator and always wondered if someone could actually go out on their own and start a business in this field. More power to you and good luck

[@ShaneWelcher]

@@camarojunky4853 Let me know if you would like to see more technical info

So you mean where do you get EasyPLC Machine Simulator?
