Yes, using EBC100 or DMIO remote I/O. However, only for 1 hour , then the Simulator goes to PROGRAM mode. This is by design. Otherwise, we would have to charge you for the Simulator, but we don't, because it's a Simulator. It's free by design for the purpose of simulating your Do-more PLC for 1 hour.

I think he was referring to the 3D factory simulation software - http://factoryio.com
And as an answer, probably using Modbus

Yes the BRX (Do-More Simulator) can be connected to Factory IO.

The above are examples of this communication to Factory IO using Modbus TCP.
I hope this helps you out.

Hi Luke,
The above link will take you to the website and one of the links using a BRX and Factory IO.
Use the search on the website and look for Factory IO.
This will show you all of the posts available.
