PLC Simulator
Program PLCs and factory cells in your browser
PLC Simulator launched on August 21, 2026.
What it does
PLC Simulator turns industrial automation training into hands-on browser labs. Write ladder logic or structured text, run it against animated 2D and 3D machines, and get immediate, test-backed feedback. Learn across 9 PLC dialects, wire industrial panels, program robot arms and HMIs, diagnose faults, and build a verifiable skills portfolio—without installing vendor software or buying hardware. Start free with 27 scenarios and no credit card.
Browser-based PLC simulation software with 170 source-catalogued practice records, guided lessons and 9 learning dialects. Try one program without an account.
Practice in a free browser PLC simulator with 12 core lessons in 9 dialects, 170 source-catalogued practice records , and 32 free-tier scenarios after signup. Try one guided program without an account. No install, no card. No install. Works in any browser. · From the team at plcprogramming.io Watch actual browser footage of PLC logic, live machines, guided learning, 3D automation, robot programming, wiring, and HMI practice. No concept mockups. Real screens. 20 working engineering surfaces from ladder and 3D cells to HMI, robotics and connected commissioning. Build iteratively with searchable instructions, keyboard shortcuts, rung tools, live execution and behavior-basedfrom plcsimulationsoftware.com

A simulator for engineers transitioning from IC to managementJan 2026 · apmcommunication.com · ▲74Hi HN, I’m a former C++ dev turned Product Manager. I’ve noticed many engineers struggle with the "politics" side of things when they become Leads. To help with this, I’m building a text-based simulator. It is NOT an AI chatbot. It is a hand-crafted, branching narrative (logic tree) based on real experiences. I just launched the first scenario: "The Backchannel VP." The Setup: Your VP Engineering is bypassing you and giving tasks directly to your juniors, causing chaos. Your Goal: Stop the backchanneling without getting fired. It’s a short, specific puzzle. I’d love to know if you think the…
I made a digital circuit drawing and simulation game2024 · github.com · ▲139Inspired by games like Turing Complete/Virtual Circuit Board/Logic World, I tried to make a mix of aseprite and wiredworld/wired-logic, the idea being the user can build a digital circuit using a "fullstack" pixelart creation workflow. The circuit is just an image. The primitives are (i) connected wires which have undefined, 0 or 1 state during simulation (displayed brighter or darker in function of the state) and (ii) NANDs, which are little pixel triangles. During simulation the user can interact with any wire by clicking on it, toggling its state, which is cool for messing…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
