New Features

Siemens S7 PLC Connectivity (only available in Visual Components Premium)

    Siemens S7 PLC Connectivity supports native connectivity to most physical and simulated Siemens PLCs, including older models. This native connection provides faster communication speeds with physical S7-1200 controllers and supports connection to S7-PLCSIM (not currently supported by OPC UA).

    Siemens S7 Connectivity

    Fast robot teaching

    We’ve added quick buttons for robot teaching, so you can easily define points and generate motion statements in the 3D world, without switching menus. These 3D buttons appear as context options in the 3D world when the robot is selected and in JOG mode.

    Improvements and Optimization 

    CAD importers

    CAD importers have been updated to support the latest versions of Solid Edge, SolidWorks, and Siemens.

    New process modeling statements

    We’ve added new statements to expand the functionality of process modeling: send signal, wait signal, and run robot routine.

    Other Improvements

    Updated license server

    We’ve released an updated version of our network license server (v2.0.8). This update includes improvements and bug fixes for license borrowing, usage logging, policy setting, and more.

    Other improvements

    We’ve made a number of usability and performance improvements in 4.2.2. Check out the Release Notes to learn more!
