Description
A simple PLC simulator with 6 outputs, 3 timers, 2 counters, 6 compare instructions, and 3 RES outputs. Great way to learn how a PLC works and program.
This app is designed to help anyone that is new to PLCs and wants to learn the basics of "How a PLC works" and PLAY with a simple simulator to experiment with some simple programming. The app consist of three main sections, "How a PLC works", "PLC Block Diagram" and the PLC Simulator. The PLC Simulator allows the beginner to learn simple programming skills with 3 timers, 2 counters, 6 compare instructions, 2 Binary outputs and 3 RES outputs. The user interface is very friendly. For first time users, there is an information icon that shows just how easy this app is to program.
The NEW SAVE feature allows a user to start a program and come back to it at a later time.
This app also helps people better understand the exam-off instruction -[/]-, the "Seal-In" or "Latching" logic, such as a motor start/stop circuit and much more.
Enjoy the fast growing world of PLCs.
My daughter found it very useful for her Mechatronics class.
Try it, you will like it.

Ratings and Reviews
Good app for kids
This is an excellent app for kids. I will be downloading it onto my kids iPads as well as sending the link to my friends and family for their kids. I think it’s a great Intro to logic.
Sorry to those that were expecting more. I do agree there is room for improvement. Especially in the features and descriptions of actions but overall it is excellent for children. Giving a 3star in hopes the developer continues to work on this app to improve its features. I know it’s meant to be a start up app but I feel like it can be something way better. Kuddos anyways.
Developer Response ,
It is an excellent PLC app for beginners and that is what it was designed for. It is intended to only test very simple projects and please rated as such. I hope your kids find it to be a good learning app and further their interest in PLCs.
Thanks,
David
It’s not a simulator.
Kinda feel like this would be better as a short pdf file. It’s just a few pages of very basic PLC concepts and as others have noted, no it does not really do anything and does not allow for any creativity or ability to edit ... anything. I assume it’s someone’s first stab at making an app, which is great for them but don’t call it a simulator. If you are looking for an actual simulator, basic but functional, try LadderTouch. It actually allows some functionality.
Hey the dude from this wrote me the following:
"It seems inappropriate to bash someone’s app just to SELL yours. This app is small, basic and FUNCTIONAL. It is intended for anyone who is relatively new to the world of PLCs and wants to use a simple small simulator to program and learn about “Start/Stop”, “Timer” and “Counter” logic. It even includes 9 projects for the user to build. Did I mention that this app is totally FREE and WITHOUT advertisements. I hope you make lots of money on your LadderTouch app, David"
I wrote back to calm down I’m just a guy learning PLC programming basically. Just a rando who doesn’t know much. But... I stand by my assessment. Cool personal project but not a really good app sorry but it isn’t
Just another update: ya boy developer looking crazy. Someone should reign him in probably. Or my friend maybe your should reign yourself in. You look really unprofessional.
Developer Response ,
When is pdf file interactive or supports creativity? It is intended for anyone who is relatively New to the world of PLCs and wants to use a Simple small simulator to program and Learn about “Start/Stop”, “Timer”, "Compare Blocks" and “Counter” logic. It does support Creativity using the Basic functions of a PLC and does NOT include advance features. It even includes 9 projects for the user to build. This app is totally FREE and WITHOUT advertisements.
Not useful for what I need
I was looking for something I could use for a class that is compatible with my MacBook but this app is flawed. It doesn't really do what I need it to do first off, which is whatever. Secondly, its really glitchy and totally goes cold after a little bit and I can't tell what i'm doing wrong. I gave it a couple stars because I do like the witnessing piece, when you click the cross...what a cool way to reach people to let them know about the savior of us all and that we are forgiven and loved.
