Virtual Commissioning with Siemens S7-PLCSim Advanced & NX MCD

Digitalization changes everything!
Virtual Commissioning is just one part of the Digital Enterprise Suite offering from Siemens Digital Factory.
SIMATIC S7-PLCSIM Advanced allows comprehensive simulation of functions during configuration and engineering with STEP 7 (TIA Portal), without the need of physical hardware - offering a complete "Software in the loop" approach to commissioning and providing a much more flexible system.
S7-PLCSIM Advanced has an open API and OPC UA connectivity, allowing it to interface to other software and hardware. When coupled with Siemens NX MCD software you are able to control your virtual machine model with your real PLC code - so commissioning can start before it is even built/taken off-line; increasing your engineering efficiency and saving time & money.
