Hi,
I am a Mech&Manufacturing engineering student. I am working on developing a function block diagram program for the supervisory control of an automated saw thats being designed and built in my department. I would like to just test my function block diagram program using simulation to make sure the program serves its purpose as I dont have the prototype of the saw ready yet. I am looking for software that would allow me to do this. I looked at RSLOGIX5000 and it looks like this package allows me to simulate. But i am still shopping around for any less expensive software out there that is comprehensive (with proper online help/turotials and fully functional program development environment) and allow for simulation.
Please suggest some alternatives.
thanks
Karthik
