Older PLCSIM versions limited your simulation options. V15.1 allows comprehensive testing of advanced hardware: : Test safety functions virtually.
Use a reliable archiving tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip to extract downloaded ISO or EXE parts into a single folder.
There is a documented limitation in V15.1. [13†L43-L45]. If your project relies on these specific safety functions, you will need to test on physical hardware.
If you are currently working within the TIA Portal framework, you may be wondering if upgrading to, or utilizing, is the right move. The short answer is: Yes.

If standard PLCSIM V15.1 feels limiting, look into (which pairs with TIA Portal V15.1). The Advanced version allows co-simulation with third-party software via an API, supports virtual time scaling, and enables full Ethernet network communication testing. Keep Software Updates Synchronized
A "better" simulation runs the HMI and PLC together.
Another reported issue involves corrupt analog values when using SIM tables to modify all selected values. Ensure that the address boundaries (e.g., %IW0 ) are correct and that you have installed the latest update package for PLCSIM V15.1, as early versions had bugs in their SIM table logic [5†L16-L19].
