    Hi, everybody!
    I'm new to the site, and i have to say that i'm amazed with what you've done!
    First of all, i'm finishing my masters in mechanical engineering, automation, and my final project is a seismic table. To develop a tool for building engineers so they can build safer houses, seismically speaking!

    Well, the other day i thought of making out of it a game simulator, but my programming skills aren't good! So, i'd stick only to the seismic part of it!

    But then, i've found you!!

    Amazing!!!

    I've looked around the site, but couldn't really find some posts of anyone in the same situation as me! I have the physical simulator, but i don't know how to make to control it using x-sim.

    I don't think my simulator is very good for games, but it's better than nothing!

    A brief description of what matters:
    -M340 telemecanique schneider plc
    -7 festo muscle actuators
    -5 degrees of freedom
    -up to 12 Hz; 4g accel; physical limits: 16 cm vertically, 4 cm horizontally, and just 2º angles!!

    I have a picture of it, in my gallery if you would like to see it!

    After i buy a wheel pad, like those used on pc's for gaming, how do i link it to comunicate with the plc?

    Well, thanks in advance and sorry for any mistake in my english!

    Tiago

    Hi egoexpress!
    Thanks for replying!

    The PLC is a Schneider Telemecanique M340 with a digital input module, a digital output module and one analogical output still available. I didn't uploaded the modules specs because i don't think it's necessary, just uploaded the processor and the communication modules specs.

    Thanks for helping me out!!

    If there's any information missing please let me know!

    Kind regards,
    Tiago.
