In this video, we show you how to connect a PLC emulated in FactoryTalk Logix Echo to Factory IO to test a PLC program using a simulated factory.
We begin by setting up an emulated CompactLogix 5380 controller in Logix Echo and creating a new project in Studio 5000 Logix Designer. We configure the IP address, declare tags, and write simple logic to control a conveyor in Factory IO.
After downloading the project to the emulated controller, we set up the Factory IO scene “1 - From A to B.” Using the Allen-Bradley Logix 5000 driver, we configure the IP address, establish the connection, and confirm communication with the emulated PLC.
Finally, we test the logic by running the simulation: the conveyor runs until the sensor is triggered and then stops, just as expected.
Factory IO isn’t free software, but you can try it for 30 days for free using this link:
