Working with
PLCSIM Advanced
Working without
PLCSIM Advanced
+ Costs for demo hardware/prototypes
+ Expenditure of time for simulation
adaptation of the PLC program
+ Risks during commissioning
(delayed delivery of machine parts,
fault diagnostics, increased
expenditure of time for settings)
+ Costs for licenses per instance
+ Expenditure of time for connection to
co-simulation
ANSWER:
If the cost for working without
PLCSIM Advanced are higher than
working with PLCSIM Advanced
