Features & Capabilities

Beginner-friendly PLC simulator with 6 outputs, 3 timers, 2 counters, 6 compare instructions, and 3 RES outputs. Explore concepts in three sections—How a PLC Works, PLC Block Diagram, and the PLC Simulator—so you can learn how PLCs operate and then practice simple ladder-style programming.

The NEW SAVE feature lets you start a program and return later, making practice sessions convenient. It also covers practical ladder logic patterns such as exam-off (Latching) instructions and motor start/stop circuits, helping beginners grasp how PLCs are used in real-world control systems.

User Reviews

The app is praised as a beginner-friendly intro to ladder logic and PLC concepts, and it’s useful for at-home learning and for kids. It is simple and quick to use. However, reviewers note its limited functionality (not a full simulator), along with stability and compatibility issues (crashes, glitches, Mac/iOS problems). Some also dislike the religious content. Overall, it’s an accessible learning aid with notable depth and reliability trade-offs.

Pros

Beginner-friendly introduction to ladder logic and PLC concepts.
Helpful for at-home learning and teaching kids.
Simple and easy-to-use for quickly programming rungs.

Cons

Very limited functionality—appears more like a basic primer than a full PLC simulator; no editing or advanced features.
Stability issues: crashes, glitches, and freezes reported by multiple users.
Platform compatibility problems (Mac, older iOS versions).
Religious content in the app may not appeal to all users.

I downloaded this to play around with because I needed a simple example to show people how ladder works, now I recommend it to anyone who is interested in PLCs. Great little app, thanks for building and sharing it!

Some basic info to explain what we are looking at and a really nice SIM section to do few (9) basic assignments. Solutions are provided for comparison. Great way to get introduced to ladder logic. Would like to see a section that explains how the particular components work. Thank you for making this!!!
