In the dynamic world of industrial automation, the synergy between software and simulation is indispensable for creating efficient and effective control systems. In this tutorial, we embark on a journey to merge the power of TIA Portal, Siemens's comprehensive programming environment, with Factory IO, a simulation tool. Together, we will construct a basic conveyor system, demonstrating the art of tying TIA Portal tags to push buttons and lights, as well as the intricate process of developing PLC programming for motor control. By the end of this guide, you'll have a tangible understanding of how to unite these two powerful tools, paving the way for more complex automation projects.
