Hello. I have a problem about Factory IO. I could not solve this problem. Can you help me.

Fault name: Please make sure you are using the correct project template and S7-PLCSIM is set to RUN mode.

Hello @ysfaygun1

To use PLCSIM with Factory I/O you have to use the TIAPortal templates available in our documentation.  
You can find them here: [Setting up S7-PLCSIM V13-19 - FACTORY I/O](https://docs.factoryio.com/tutorials/siemens/setting-up-s7-plcsim-v13/#tia-portal-template-projects)

I hope this helps.
