Antivirus exception: The installation directory (such as C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Siemens \ PLCSIMADV) needs to be added to the antivirus software exception list

Communication configuration:

Local communication (Softbus): default mode, restricts communication within the local PC/virtual machine to avoid accidental downloading to the physical CPU

TCP/IP communication:

Single adapter mode (hybrid mode): supports distributed communication across PCs/virtual machines, requires activation of virtual switches

Multi adapter mode (non hybrid mode): Communication is achieved through MAC address mapping, suitable for cloud environments/enterprise networks

Enable distributed communication: Activate “S7-PLCSIM Advanced Virtual Switch” in the Windows network adapter properties

TCP/IP communication failure, virtual switch not activated, IP address conflict, activate virtual switch, ensure instance IP is unique and matches subnet

Project download failed due to incompatible CPU firmware version. Upgrade TIA Portal project firmware version and recreate simulation instance

Simulation lag/overflow scaling factor too high, insufficient system resources reduce virtual time scaling factor, close redundant background programs
