PLC Tutorials & Simulators: Get Started with Automation

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding resources for learning about programmable logic controllers (PLCs), specifically tutorials and simulators. Participants are seeking guidance on where to access these materials and share potential resources.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help with finding a PLC tutorial and simulator.
  • Another participant mentions that Rockwell Automation offers a free emulator, suggesting a Google search for "ladder logic tutorial" or "ladder logic simulator" as a potential resource.
  • Repeated suggestions about the Rockwell Automation emulator indicate its perceived utility, though some participants express uncertainty about its current availability.
  • Further assistance is requested from a participant who is still having trouble finding resources.
  • A link to a specific tutorial and simulator is provided, with a note that the contributor has not personally verified its effectiveness.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the availability of resources from Rockwell Automation, but there is no consensus on the effectiveness or current status of these resources. Some participants express ongoing difficulty in locating suitable tutorials and simulators.

Contextual Notes

There is uncertainty regarding the current availability of the suggested emulator and the effectiveness of the provided link, as some participants have not verified these resources themselves.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in learning about programmable logic controllers, particularly those seeking tutorials and simulation tools for practical application.

Rockwell Automation has a free emulator that you can download, although I haven't checked recently to see if it's still available. Try google search with "ladder logic tutorial" or "ladder logic simulator".
