Overview

The Logic Simulator connects to external sources by means of adapters. These adapters are data connectors to specific and more generic sources. Specific point to point implementations are Beckhoff TwinCAT and OPC/UA. Other solutions like ActiveMQ and MQTT are indirect connections which connect to a communication server/ message broker.
