I have always been an old school programmer. Hardware in front of you hooked up to all of the I/O. I have recently looked at the automation direct do-more designer software solution. The Do-More Designer Software will allow you to build your ladder logic, download into a simulator (comes with the software) and run the code. The price of all of this... FREE
I will not get into allot of details because the documention available already will get you through the software step by step.
- Download the software
- Install the software
- Use the YouTube videos for help with getting around the software and making your first program.
The following are several links to help you discover the plc programmer in you:
