I'm responsible for a PLC lab at a small educational institution. We are using different PLC systems from multiple vendors (Schneider Electric, Phoenix Contact and Allen-Bradley). I have multiple development environments installed on each PC in the lab. That often causes driver conflicts and there's a lot of time wasted on troubleshooting.
Some of my friends in the industry are using VMware or Virtual Box software with images of systems that are configured for only one vendor/PLC system. I want to setup something like this in our lab, but the problem is license price for VMware or Virtual Box software.
Can you recommend any freeware solution that could help me?
