Virtual controller - Siemens PLC communication via Profinet

in RobotStudio
Hi everyone!
I would like to establish communication between a virtual IRC5 controller and a real Siemens S7-1200 PLC via Profinet. Is this possible? Are there any guides or resources to get it done?
Thanks in advance!

Since a virtual controller doesn't have hardware to support Profinet, a direct connection is not possible.
To connect SIEMENS PLC with a virtual controller in RobotStudio,
(1) Let PLC connect to a simulation unit (hardware), then connect to WINMOD (software), then connect to RobotStudio.
(2) Let PLC connect to a SIMIT unit (hardware), then connect to SIMIT (software), then connect to RobotStudio.
(3) Let PLC download programs to PLCSIM Advanced (software), then connect PLCSIM Advanced to SIMIT, then connect to RobotStudio.
Whether the hardware or software supports S7-1200 or not needs to be checked beforehand.0 -
