We recently received a partnership request from a European company based in Porto, Portugal named "realgames". They're focused on creating 3D education simulators and one of their main products is a 3D PLC simulator named factory I/O. This software offers numerous features and at the same time it's designed beautifully simple.
So we decided to partner up with these guys and use their 3D PLC simulator along with the other software that we currently use to improve your learning experience using a new generation of PLC simulator. In this video you're going to become familiar with some of the features that this software offers and then in the next lessons, I'm going to walk you, step by step, through how you can configure and set up "factory I/O" from scratch and then connect that with TIA Portal to be able to simulate your PLC program in a beautifully designed 3D environment.

In this video I'm going to write a PLC program in STEP 7, create a relevant industrial application in Factory I/O from scratch and then connect the two software and test the PLC program in the 3D environment.
Factory I/O is an innovative software package that allows you to create graphics that represent the machinery that you wish to control and then test your PLC program with the graphics, in a 3D environment. This lesson demonstrates the different tools you will use to place and manipulate your grap...
Previously, we used the Factory I/O software package to create graphics that represent the machinery that we want control with a PLC program. This lesson will provide you with information on how to simulate the graphics environment with or without the use of the PLC program.
Factory I/O allows y...
