Provide project data offline for simulation

Simulations regardless of STEP 7
To perform simulations independent of STEP 7, you can save the user program and the
hardware configuration in STEP 7 in a directory.
Provide project data offline
1. Create a "User-defined Card Reader" for your project data under Card Reader/USB
storage in the project tree of STEP 7 for the CPU.
2. In the "Load preview" dialog for the target device, select "PLC Simulation Advanced" as
an action, click in the selection field for this.
