In this edition of Automation Tech Tips, I walk through how to create your first PLC Program in TIA Portal v18, and then run it inside of the free PLCSim software.
NOTE: If you need to learn how to use the S7 PLC, check out my S7 PLC Course. It comes with instructor support and never expires.

I work with S7-1200 PLCs and was looking for an instructional video on how to use PLCSim with TIA Portal & this video really helped me out.

Thanks for your comments Mas!
I really struggled with the updated interface so I wanted to share how to use it once I figured it out 😉
