I made a video about to conect FluidSim to Factory IO

Nice one! Didn’t even know this was possible!

Now we only need Process I/O with tanks, valves and pumps. @brunovgr 😉

Thanks for the video. I watched most with translation to English and found it understandable. I really need to play more with OPC … nice that you got it to work.

How did you get pneumatic actuators? I have the ultimate edition but these do not exist?

Hello,

Thank you for this video.  
But I still have a probleme with the OPC Client DA/UA.  
When I select FestoDidactic.EzOPC.1 as server.  
I have only the representation of the bytes and not each bit (print screen in attachement).

 ![FestoDidactic.EzOPC.1.PNG](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/factoryio/original/1X/96b5579f146d3f8d9e82078072e1023179669175.jpeg)

How can I configurate the OPC Client DA/UA to have each bit visible in order to assign the sensors and actuators?

You mean the [Pusher](https://docs.factoryio.com/manual/parts/light-load/#pusher)?

PS. Sorry for the late reply.

Afaik it depends on the OPC server if you can address single bits or not. But I don’t work enough with OPC to tell you more.

@janbumer1 Yes, you are right. @theophile.umuhire You will have to configure Bool items in the OPC server. Factory I/O just browses the OPC server address space and retrieves all items that go through the filters.

Unfortunately, I don’t have access to that OPC server in our labs in order to investigate this further.

Does this work with FluidSim v3.6?
