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.

Thank you for putting out a nice app for PLC newbies. It’s great to see someone spend the time to plan out, design, and build this sim to let anyone have it for free and no ads! That first review from 7 years ago was just some retired PLC tech that never reached their goals in this world. I would love to know how to make apps and do some free sims on electronics and programming myself. Thank you again for the sim!

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!
