Logic Design Free Software
You will love it. You draw, and then test by simulation all possible circuits.

You can start practicing Start/Stop station, like here-

Mmm, not sure that I like the representation of the hold in circuit.

My favourite in this direction was the Cyrano S/W from Opto 22, but that was 10 years ago, I don't know what their current ofering is like. On the other hand, that cost money, if this is free, it could be interesting to play around with. I assume, however, that this is purely simulation S/W and you can't actually drive anything with it.

For design- perfect

You were told it is for design. I tested very complicated circuit I've designed, and it simulated perfect. After I hardwired, all went good (part of the circuit you can see here- http://www.geocities.com/vladimirsurgay/complicated.gif)

Does it generate a truth table for you? Or help you simplify logic?

Pretty good.

This is pretty good. I think students will be able to understand their work better with simulation softwares like these.
Nice One!

Boolean Algebra

Does it generate a truth table for you? Or help you simplify logic?

Fundamental of PLC’s programming is Boolean Algebra (see another picture I posted). So, if you build your circuit using Boolean algebra (which is great way to make circuit maximum simple!), you always can test the control you design in logic gates means. So, everybody can practice PLC programming, using this software. Not only programming, but also simulating a circuits.

Hi
nice simulator , working nicely

Thanks

What a way to over complicate a holding circuit

What a way to over complicate a holding circuit

Sometimes people use NO contacts for Stop button when programming holding circuit, so I showed this way. Personaly I like NC better for safety reason. Sorry, if I hurt your feeling.
