I’m writhing my thesis on virtual commissioning and are going to emulate a productioncell including PLC, robot and vision. I want to connect a virtual robot controller in robot studio to an emulated 5605 coxnex vision camera using in-sight explorer emulator. The programs are already written to function with the hardware connected but I want to emulate it with out the hardware connected. How do I set up the komunication between the virtual controller and the In-sight emulator? ---
