Create PLC instance and load program

This chapter shows how to create a PLC instance with PLCSim Advanced and how to load the PLC program to this instance.

As it can seen in the following clip, a new instance with the name GantryRobot and type S7-1500 is created. To communicate with the PLC instance, the PLCSIM Softbus is used. Then, the extended loading function of TIA is used to search for the corresponding PLC instance and load the PLC program.

The program is now running and ready to get executed and simulated with twin!
