The NEW PLCTrainer version 4.32 uses RSLogix ladder logic look and feel and now includes analog instruction, an area that has been overlooked by most PLC training materials. (Note: Demo is not Windows Vista compatible, only paid version.) Order now and receive a second CD free LogixPro, an RSLogix logic simulator. LogixPro, an ideal tool for learning the fundamentals of RSLogix ladder logic programming. The look, feel and operation of our ladder rung editor so closely mimics Allen Bradley's latest software offering, that many need a second look to be sure who's editor they're using. (Especially if you currently own a copy of RSLogix as you can open it from within the PLCTrainer.) This 'virtual PLC' environment or PLC Simulator allows the learner to apply the knowledge gained in The PLCTrainer without the expense of purchasing RSLogix or even a PLC. This new PLC Training Software runs on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP. If your equipment has any of the following example Micrologix 1000, SLC 500 and PLC 5 PLC model numbers, you can benefit from this training. (all series 1747, 1771 and 1761) You must contact us for Workstation and Network versions and special pricing. Network, LMS, SCORM, AICC This computer based training (CBT course) also includes a PLC training manual in PDF format so you can print it out. The PLC training manual is full of proven practical applications that allow you to work through the PLC's instruction set and gain a better understanding.

Atanua: http://iki.fi/sol/atanua/index.html
Atanua is a real-time logic simulator designed for educational use. It has an intuitive, OpenGL accelerated user interface, with which the user can place components and wires. Components include all common logic blocks, including gates, latches and flipflops. Additionally Atanua simulates about 30 different 74-series chips, as well as an 8051 microcontroller variant. Simulated and pure logic parts can be mixed in the same circuit. On the I/O front, Atanua includes several different frequency clock inputs, constant level inputs as well as buttons that are bound to the user's keyboard. LEDs in various colors as well as 7-segment displays are also included. There is also a simple logic probe for debugging.
The simulated parts are designed to resemble their real-world counterparts, which is more attractive for the students than pure schematics. The students can practice lab experiments using the simulated chips. The simulation shows the signal state of each wire in real time. In addition to high and low signal level, parts may output "invalid" signal, stating that there is a problem with the circuit, such as outputs connected together, or missing wirings from some chip.
Additional parts can be made using the plug-in interface. As an example plug-in, a driver for the Velleman K8055 USB experiment board is provided, with which the user can mix simulated and real-world components. An anti-cheating tool is also available for teachers who wish to use Atanua for homework. |
