andwhether or not bridging devices—such as relays, optical isolators, or solid-state relays—will beneeded. For example, if an external device is AC driven and its input module is DC powered,then a bridging device—such as a solid-state relay—is needed. Also, they need to know aboutthe I/O ports of the equipment to be interfaced, normal states of their electrical contacts(normally open or closed), voltage/current specifications, and sinking or sourcing type ofconnections.Third, control engineers need to understand how PLC programming works. Unlike processors inoffice computers, PLC processors constantly monitor the status of their I/O devices and processall lines of PLC programs—for all practical purposes—simultaneously. Programming PLCsrequires

, processes, or systems through a virtual platformknown as the virtual environment [29]–[31]. DR involves virtual reality (VR), augmented reality(AR), MR, and all digital technologies that come within, as shown in Figure 1. Figure 1. DR Technologies from Virtual to Real SettingsVR is an immersive computer-generated simulation that can achieve a sense of presence andimmersion by creating a realistic, visceral experience that tricks the user's senses into thinking ofbeing immersed [32], [33]. This immersive multimedia is experienced using smart-wear techslike headsets, skin electronics, and many other wearable devices, allowing users to interact withlife-like models in a safe virtual environment [20]. Given its features, VR has been
