Siemens Ladder Logic Simulator WinSPS-S7
This Siemens Ladder Logic simulator software is a great tool to test ideas and projects using PLCs S7-200, S7-300 and S7-400, S7-1200, etc. A proving ground or sandbox to work out and test your ladder logic in. You can write your STEP7 program in STL(IL), LAD(Ladder Logic), or FBD(Function Block Diagram) and then you can simulate it without any additional hardware.
Because it is bundled with the factory simulation software below, this Siemens PLC simulation software can be used to create a virtual machine running your STEP7 program. Includes the tools for diagnostic or troubleshooting of PLC programs you wrote and are simulating!
WinSPS-S7 is a PLC simulator with an integrated programming environment, supports STL(IL), FBD, and LAD(ladder logic). WinPLC Engine is a PLC simulator that can be used with SIMATIC STEP 7 v5.x., TIA Portal V11, or WinSPS-S7. No hardware or configuration required. Also comes with ...

Factory Simulation Software:
This factory simulation software is perfect to bundle with the ladder logic simulation software as together they turn your computer into a PLC training kit. This 3D simulation of industrial automation applications and is specifically designed for you to practice PLC programming on. The two simulation software titles on this page are designed to work together, so it's plug and play, no hardware needed. The factory simulation software also includes 20 ready to use industrial automation application examples.
You can modify the 20 examples or create your own virtual factory from scratch using the 80 discrete and analog industrial parts included. Create a virtual factory using a palette of industrial parts, including sensors, conveyors, elevators, stations, and many others. Great for instructors too, as you can have your class practice troubleshooting by easily injecting Always On and Always Off failures into the sensors and actuators. (Instructor has options lock areas of software with an instructor password.)
