Is there a way to emulate a few devices (like an Allen Bradley device)? We want to emulate these devices in the same way like we have programmable simulator devices.

If it is Logix, you might like my [Ethernet/IP module](https://inductiveautomation.com/moduleshowcase/module/automation-professionals-llc-ethernetip-class-1-communications). Especially if you have program file with [tags you’d like emulated](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ab-plc-tag-import-export/33050/4).

We’re using @pturmel’s Ethernet/IP module for emulating AB tags when we don’t need to simulate logic. If you need to run logic, Studio5000 Logix Emulate is still the best option (unfortunately).
