PLC Programming - Basics of Simulation with CoDeSys

PLC Programming - Basics of Simulation with CoDeSys

Simulation is becoming a core concept in automation, with many companies providing simulation systems and digital twins to recreate your own system, in order to be able to develop PLC control code that acts on a virtual clone of the real system.

In this course, you will learn some basics principles on how to create a simple simulation of your system directly on your PLC.

We will start by the developing some general-purpose basic components, that will allow us to simulate some basics systems. After that, we will use these components to simulate more complex systems in guided exercises and lessons.

In this course, we will use the Structured Text language in the CoDeSys environment and we will expand the built-in CoDeSys visualization tools that can help you to create helpful graphical visualizations, for our simulations.

You don't need a real PLC to access this course, because we will use CoDeSys Simulation mode, that can run directly on your PC.

I've used this simulation knowledge and tools in my previous courses and many students asked me insights on how they works. If you want to know how they work and how to create your own, this is the course for you!

As a PLC Software Engineer, the world is moving towards simulation and digital twins, and these are some skills that will become more and more important over the next years!

Learn how to create simulations for basics mechatronics systems and integrate them in your PLC program.
