Introduction

3.1.1

System requirements

You need high-performance computer hardware if you intend to run multiple instances of
PLCSIM Advanced at the same time or to simulate communication between
PLCSIM Advanced V2.0 and HMI devices as of version 14.0.
Recommendation: Create up to 4 local instances on your PC or virtualization platform.
Minimum requirements for hardware
Preferably, you should install PLCSIM Advanced stand-alone on a Siemens field
programming device or PC, independent of STEP 7. Alternatively, you can install
PLCSIM Advanced on the configuration PC on which STEP 7 is already installed.
For PLCSIM Advanced to operate efficiently, the computer hardware must meet minimum
requirements.
