11:55 – Conclusion: Factory IO connection example and further experiments

The most interesting part is Factory IO: I created a conveyor line that moves real parts, where the user can control the speed and see it physically reflected on the real motor.

This hands-on setup clearly demonstrates PLC-to-drive communication, motor control, and how virtual simulation can be linked to real hardware.
All steps, programming logic, and Factory IO configuration are explained so you can replicate or learn from this practical setup.
