Again, for me this is too brand-specific. I haven’t checked this out, but at only $35 it looks like a good option for those wanting to play around with Allen-Bradley’s SLC and Micrologix platform. The center image above shows a screenshot of “LogixPro”, available from The Learning Pit. The problem with that is that it is far too expensive for students. This pretty much eliminates any of the major brand’s emulators, though I have been using Allen-Bradley’s RSLogix 5000 software with aliases to generic tag structures with some success. All of this would need to be accessible in a list such as a symbol or tag database. The blue text could then be used either as a symbol (for non-tag-based platforms) or as a tag. The intent is to be able to substitute any platform’s address where the red caption is, or make it invisible if using tags. In my PLC training manual ( recently published by the way), I use a generic addressing method as shown in this image. One of my requirements is that the software be either non-brand-specific, or multi-platform. A Process or Machine simulator that includes PLC and HMI programming tools and visualization of components. A PLC programming simulator that is free or very low cost that can be used by students on their own computer to simulate and do exercises, and 2. My intent here is to find two different things: 1. In my quest to produce online training classes I have been investigating some of the different types of industrial automation and PLC simulators available.
