Switch for communication interface
Use the switch to select the communication interface for all instances to be created:
● "PLCSIM corresponds to the local communication via Softbus (default).
● "PLCSIM Virtual Ethernet Adapter corresponds to the communication via TCP/IP.
The setting applies to all other instances. The selected communication interface for starting
an instance is maintained until all instances are shut down.
When an instance is already started, it sets "its" communication interface as the default for
other instances.
To change the communication interface, switch off all instances and enable the other
interface.
TCP/IP communication
You can select a real network adapter from the drop-down list during operation. You thus
activate the PLCSIM Virtual Switch and establish TCP/IP communication between the
instances and the real network.
The <Local > setting disables the PLCSIM Virtual Switch and disconnects the instances from
the real network. Only local TCP/IP communication over virtual adapter is possible in this
case.
