Communication between cad systems and the PLC controller

Mechatronics is a science which part are simulation systems, including hardware-assisted simulations. The aim of this article is to describe how to connect a CAD system with a mechatronic module to PLC. The solution of the problem of combining these two modules allows for sending setting values to the virtual PLC controller. This is important because a PLC controller can be combined at a later stage with the robot and virtual control panel, which can be made in CAD system. In summary, the solution of the problem presented is the first step to create a virtual control system for a real object.
