Contribution to the factory io project 111 (controlling the same process from different PCs)

Shared Projects

We addressed the case presented in the community in a way that allows for simulation with FactoryIO. This means that multiple PLCs cannot be connected to the scene simultaneously, but the scene can be divided and controlled from different PCs. The video outlining the setup demonstrates that both approaches are possible, but 1 cannot be simulated.

Here is the project created with three robots, each controlled from a different PC, but all three are also controlled by the master. I will upload updates to my channel as we see how it progresses.

Hello:

We tested it with FactoryIO, and as you can see, everything runs smoothly. Communication allows for multiple different PCs, and the master controls the entire system with the same PLC.

Remember that it’s also possible for each robot to have its own PLC, but this scenario can’t be simulated because FactoryIO only allows one connection.
