Simulating PLCs and HMIs plays a crucial role in modern industrial automation. It offers engineers the ability to test and validate their control systems without the need for physical hardware, saving time and resources while ensuring reliability and safety. Simulation allows for thorough testing under various conditions, detecting errors early in the development process, and optimizing performance before deployment.
