Plcsim V18 Jun 2026

One of the standout features in the V18 release cycle is improved support for OPC UA. You can now simulate OPC UA servers and clients within the virtual environment. This is critical for IT/OT integration projects, allowing you to test MES connectivity, data logging, and ERP interactions without physical hardware.

For most users, PLCSIM V18 is sufficient. Upgrade to PLCSIM Advanced only if you need a programmable API, real IP addresses on the host network, or multi-instance simulation for distributed control system testing. plcsim v18
