Real world simulator

  • When we simulate a plc program we have to manually input the changes in input(like magnetic reed switch)
  • For example when a cylinder goes from up to down reed turn OFF and reed down turns ON
  • Is there any program available where we can define such things that will turn on and off during the process automatically.

If you really need that capability then connect a second PLC and write a simulation program strictly for testing. I have done that before on the rare occasion where I needed active simulation.

Sysmac Studio can do that with the NJ/NX Series, but the older units didn't have such features.

You have this "game" called Factory IO. It is more like a learning environment, but it can simulate simple moving parts and give feedback to the PLC via an I/O device connected to the computer.
