Virtual Motion Control (Codesys) & visualizing the movement with Visual Components via OPC UA

Many of you might want to test PLC controlled Servo Motions virtually and also see the effect in 3D to test collision, reachability, load-unload planning, safety planning, home position planning etc. In that case instead of default Virtual PLC of Codesys we need to install and activate Virtual PLC with Soft Motion capabilities. I have explained in details those steps in the following blogs.
