I'm trying to set up communication between TIA portal and Intouch thank's to S7-PLCsim.
Here is the configuration:
-TIA Portal v15.1 (CPU 1517-3)
-S7-PLCSim v15.1
-NetToPLCSim v1.2.5.0
-ArchestrA SMC v2020.1207
Everything is on the same 10.76.1.20 VM. But SIDIR won't see the PLCsim.
As I've written in the other thread, from my experience some time ago the OI.SIDIR symbolic driver does not support the communication with Plcsim. I can say if Wonderware has fixed something in that direction, but I don't believe so. I only can say, the legacy driver works with Nettoplcsim (enable Put/Get in HW config, and use not optimized datablocks for this).
But at least you should see an entry in the Nettoplcsim monitor window, when Nettoplcsim tries to connect to Plcsim. So may be there's something else going wrong.
Make sure you start Nettoplcsim in this order:
1. After PC start, before starting any Siemens application, start Nettoplcsim with admin rights and let it capture the TCP Port 102. Let Nettoplcsim in this state, with no configuration
2. Start Siemens Software, start Plcsim, load program into Plcsim
3. Configure Nettoplcsim, and start the Nettoplcsim server
4. Make your tests
And if it's running in a VM, the network interface of the should have a connection to a network, for example if you're using a laptop without any active network connection, it won't work.

I know this thread is a little old but I have started experimenting with various setups for System Platform to talk to PLCSim on another box. Right now where is what I have working.. YMMV
Object (host1) --> DDESL Object (Host1) --> OI Gateway OPCUA Client (Host1) --> TANI OPC Server (Host2) --> NetToPLCSIM (Host2) --> PLCSim (Host2)
The little piece of magic here is TANI. You can run it for free for up to 72 hours and its crazy easy and flexible. Kepware would likely do just as well. I'm running TIAPortal V18.
Next week I plan to try using native drivers in the CDP and see how it goes. My team has a long history of working out unsanctioned ways to do this stuff since we do all our dev in the cloud on PLC emulators across a bunch of different hosts. Will report back with any findings or failures.

Hi Thomas,
I was able to simulate only in Legacy mode.
Thank you for the help !
