INTERACTIVE PLC SIMULATOR SOFTWARE

• LogixPro is actually 3 major programs in one. First LogixPro contains a RSLogix look-alike editor which allows you to create and edit Ladder Logic programs using many of the same basic programming instructions utilized by Allen Bradley's RSLogix500. The look, feel and operation of the ladder rung editor so closely mimics Allen Bradley's that many will need a second look to be sure who's editor they're using.

  Secondly, LogixPro contains a software PLC emulator which we simply call "The PLC". The PLC has much of the same functionality that an actual Allen Bradley PLC has. You may download your Ladder Logic programs to it just as you would with an actual PLC. Place The PLC into the "Run" mode, and it scans the I/O and executes your program just as you would expect of the real thing. You can't take a screwdriver to it, but you can't accidentally break it either, and you never have to replace it's batteries.

  Thirdly, LogixPro contains the ProSimII simulations package. This is a collection of software simulations of real-world equipment that are graphically depicted on your computer's screen. Select the "Silo Simulator" with it's conveyor, proximity switches and solenoid controlled filling station, and you now have a real-world process that you can attempt to control. To do so, you of course must first write a proper Ladder Logic program, then download it to The PLC, and lastly place The PLC into the "Run" mode. If you did everything correctly, then the boxes will run along the conveyor being filled as they pass through the filling station. If you didn't do everything correctly, then you may end up with a plant full of product, a scolding from "Merlin", and some serious troubleshooting ahead of you. Just like the real world, but a lot less costly!!...and you can always tell Merlin to just go away.

  LogixPro is actually far superior to many custom designed PLC training stations that employ actual PLCs and utilize the full RSLogix software package. These dedicated stations commonly employ a handful of switches and lights to represent the imagined real-world process, and are incapable of responding in a synchronous fashion. If you turn on a light which supposedly represents a conveyor, nothing actually moves. You must then manually indicate that the conveyed object is in position by toggling a switch. With LogixPro however, your computer graphically simulates the full motion and operation of the process equipment just as would happen with real equipment. The synchronous and interactive nature of a real industrial processes is retained, and presents the student with a far more realistic and challenging programming experience. The fact that you can accomplish all this using just a computer, makes LogixPro ideal for PLC training wherever you go.
