Arend-MI Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 A topic on this was started (now closed) in 2016, hence this new topic since things might have changed in the meantime. For early software development and testing of host and/or target controller software, is there a simulator available for Power PMAC hardware such that I am not required to have a physical PMAC controller connected (on my desk)? Any other (best) practices you can share in this area are also very much appreciated. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 The SW development group is investigating the implementation of a Power PMAC simulator in the IDE. This could be implemented by the end of this year but will have a better idea in the next couple of months when this can be achieved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arend-MI Posted February 13, 2023 Author Share Posted February 13, 2023 Hi Steve, Thanks for the swift reply. Would love to be kept up-to-date regarding this feature. Is there a (PMAC) news topic/email I can subscribe on? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 This would be published on the OmronNow website under “Product Updates”->”Modification Notices”->”Motion and Drives” (check-box). You will need an OmronNow login to view these. The login is at the top right of the landing page: https://automation.omron.com/en/us/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arend-MI Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 I followed your link, successfully logged in, but then I get the following error message.

Arend-MI Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 @steve.milici On March 27th I applied for a new account on the page of OmronNow (using the link you shared). I still have no access (see previous screenshot) to the exact link you shared which should bring me to "product launches". Could you look into my case? Thank you.

Arend-MI Posted May 8, 2023 Author Share Posted May 8, 2023 @steve.milici Unfortunately I again need to come back to you on this.

steve.milici Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Try "CustomerCare@Omron.com". I don't think "Web-Support-Americas-OMCA@omron.com" is attended any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @steve.milici, That happens after the login. A snapshot of the full-screen: Besides this problem in accessing the Omron website, do you have any news about the simulator? Can we still expect some release in that way at the end of this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
