How do i connect this to Machine Simulator??

[EasyPLC_Master]

You have to add the Machines Simulator driver to EasyPLC;

Then send the I/O from one driver to other, example:

if RemotePanel is driver #0 and Machines Simulator is driver#1, then

In script code this sentence:

for(int f=0; f<8; f++)
{
   // Write RemotePanel Outputs with Machines Simulator Input states
   WriteOutput(0, f, ReadInput(1, f));
   
   // Write Machines SImulator Outputs with RemotePanel Inputs
   WriteOutput(1, f, ReadInput(0, f));
}
