I teach logic and programming so obviously I could teach PLC programming. And, there is a market demand.
I do this at a university so I would like to develop an academic course on PLC programming. I know that in the real world you use some manufacturer's devices but I do not have the budget to buy those.
So my question is the following: what simulator would you recommend to use for teaching the thinking of how to program PLCs? Any academic course should teach the thinking in some field: PLCs are no different.
Is there an open source PLC simulator software for Windows or Linux that you would recommend?
