you check link of CoMod?
1)run plcsim
2)you need download your programm into plcsim
3)you need set MPI-adress of plcsim analogicaly of your CPU
4)start runtime protool

yes i saw the link that CoMod said and i did it
but i dont know what shoul i do in step 3 as you said,sania?
how should i set my plcsim mpi addres?i did it in step7 netpro.and download the program to plc sim ,is there any setting need in plcsim program?
and here i saw something in protool v6 manual,there was written that protool v6+sp3 can work with plcsim ver5&5.2 ,my plc sim is ver 5.3+sp1 ,is it possible that protool ver6+sp3 do not support the plc sim ver5.3
