RoboDK interface with Twincat/ethercat-ven-02-28-2022

I want to use roboDK as part of a system simulation where it takes care of the robot side while I simulate the twincat3 program on my computer. Is it possible for me to do this and if so how do I link the I/O to it?

I never did this personally, but I often talk with a guy in Japan via LinkedIn who is doing some test project regarding this.
He just release some tutorials:

Chris Chung is the guy.

Thank you for the links. I'll look into it to see what's possible. I had also found a program called game4automation that can interface with both Twincat and roboDK but as the professional version that is required to do this is quite expensive I thought to see if there was a less expensive option.

It's clearly doable with a bit of Python scripting.

Good luck.
