In this tutorial, you'll learn how to connect a virtual KUKA robot to the Siemens SIMIT simulation platform using the iiQWorks.Sim Connectivity Add-on. We walk you through the entire process—from activating the Connectivity Add-on and setting up the server connection, to mapping robot input and output signals and testing them in a live simulation. You’ll see how each signal triggers specific robot actions, such as picking colored boxes and controlling the gripper.
