[OsamaSalih]

Hi Everyone

I am working on a Process Expert 2023 project , when I try to connect to the simulator I get a warning that 

the Controller of my project and PLCSIM are not compatible (check photo)

, when I procees i get an error that the operation 

failed for the same reason (check photo)

have anyone experienced the same problem

Regards

I am not familiar with Process expert.  

Is there an existing application loaded in the simulator which is a different CPU to the real one.  How many simulators are you trying to run?  With the more recent versions of the simulator we can run multiple simulators we must however make sure we address them with different port numbers.

Hi Trinxs

* No existing app loaded in the simulator as I do a reset , clear and power recycle to  the simulator

* I am running only one instance of the simulator everytime

I notice that from inside Control Expert i can connect and transfer the project with no problems to the simulator

I'm also not too familiar with EPE.

In Control Expert you need to (re)build specifically for a simulator. This differs slightly from a real PAC.
Could it be that there is a similar option in EPE as well?

Hi Patrick

Yes there is similar option to build and rebuild the application in EPE Project Explorer

but that has no distinction to a simulator or a real PAC

Which country are you based in?  Have you tried the local technical support team?
