Online PLC Trainer for RSLogix 500-Style Ladder Logic

Learn ladder logic in a browser-based controller workspace, starting with a live conveyor demonstration you can operate before signing in.

Free · fixed conveyor demoPro · full Level 0–3 editor

Learning lab · simulator 01

See the logic, controller memory, and machine respond together.

Practice familiar PLC scan behavior, addresses, data files, branches, timers, counters, and output instructions. The animated I/O worlds are driven by the same controller memory your ladder program reads and writes, so changes in logic produce visible machine behavior.

This Logix 500-style trainer is the first simulator in the learning lab. The learning area is designed to expand with additional simulator types over time.

Save and continue projects

Download .ACTPLC or compatible .RSL files to the online browser processor, then upload .ACTPLC back to your device to keep your progress.

PLC-style instruction behavior

Build with contacts, coils, branches, timers, counters, sequencers, data files, and status bits modeled around PLC scan semantics.

Logic-driven I/O worlds

Test controller projects against animated conveyors and other industrial training scenes with visible inputs and outputs.

Room to inspect the processor

Open the full-screen workspace to inspect ladder continuity, controller state, and the I/O world together without the simulator being clipped.

The free demonstration has fixed reference logic. Adding, deleting, moving, renaming, forcing, importing, and exporting logic requires Pro Toolkit.
