Hello everyone, I have a problem with my factory io not responding to my plcsim tia portal v19. The plcsim connects to Factory IO but it’s not responding even when I try to run the conveyor manually via Factory io it’s not running. Any idea why this happens? ![Screenshot 2025-02-26 213641](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex017/uploads/factoryio/original/1X/524febe504e5b96472c42437f73ccc4e7a382127.jpeg) ---

Hello @valentinvelazquez147 Welcome to the forum! Could you please share some more details about your issue? Do you get any error on Factory I/O when you try to connect? What version of TIAPortal and PLCSIM are you using? Have you had a chance to check our [tutorial on how to connect Factory I/O and PLCSIM](https://docs.factoryio.com/tutorials/siemens/setting-up-s7-plcsim-v13/)?
