About this app

IMPORTANT: Before you use this app, please see the tutorial video on how to use it.

In industry the PLC is the most important automation device because of its role as the brain in running industrial processes. This brain uses a syntax to be able perform tasks in an orderly, sequential manner.

The native language of the PLC is called “ladder logic”. Ladder logic is graphical, in that it can be laid out in a form that resembles a ladder with rails and rungs. Ladder logic diagrams were developed originally from relay-circuit diagrams that were used for electronic circuitry prior to the advent of PLCs.

PLC Ladder Simulator is a simulator for the Android operating system with input and output objects that simulate the I/O ports of a real PLC. You can used PLC Ladder Simulator to create ladder-logic diagrams using components from the standard set used in these diagrams.

PLC Ladder Simulator features an unique option available in the world and it's the possibility of program an Arduino board with a ladder design using an Android phone. So actually what it does is that transforms an Arduino into a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The app writes a code into the Arduino by using an USB OTG cable or a Bluetooth module.

The Arduino mode it's compatible with the Arduino UNO (atmega328) and the M5Stack ESP32.

Note: This app doesn't work in tablets, only for Android phones, you can try it if you want to.
It doesn't work in some Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.

To ensure the possibility that the app works on your device, follow the example in the video tutorial.

Absolutely brilliant app. I'm good with relay logic, so this transition to plc ladder logic was quite easy. I've only started with basic timers, compares and switches. I'm going to learn the other wonderful functions that ordinary relays just can't do. Then I will try exporting the program to Arduino Uno. Then I'm going to pay for the Pro version. I think this is absolutely worth it. Thank you Sergio

I love the app, but it runs like garbage. I have a v20 and it takes forever to respond to inputs. The longer the app is open the worse it gets. Shame, because its fun to play with.

Good app for minior programing but im currently learning s7 programing and its missing a few key components like flip flops and counters also could use more imputs at least 2 bits worth

Hi, I think you're confused, this apps uses KOP language and not FUP, in FUP you can find the flip-flop as a block function, in KOP you can implement a flip-flop by using contacts, you can check google on how to make a flip-flop with contacts. So the app is not missing the component that you say.
