Hello,
In Exercise 7, am I supposed to see the motors?

Already Solved!
Please request your download for EasyPLC Tutorial manager v.1.1.2.A

Can we get the ladder program that is used for machine simulator Demo?

In order to see the demo program used in the machines, you must open the editor and open the machine you want to see the demo, click on Machine Hierarchy and in the right property box, click on Edit Script Code, from the opened window select Machine Demo Script Code (see image)

Hi, the simulator is the best on the market :)  :D , but I see that there aren't that many tutorials and I need the codes of the example scenes that appear in the simulator.  :o
But why isn't there the code in the KOP/ladder of the scenes that come in the simulator? I only find basic scenes. If you paid for the scenes in this pack, you could share the code for the rest of the scenes, right? Since seeing the demo of the operation makes you want to study the code.

On the other hand, it's great that the demo code is available in the editor, but it looks like a confusing code in C#, it uses libraries that only the creator programmer knows how to use, I think. I know that there are scenes that cannot be programmed in ladder, but I would like to work more with Easy PLC in ladder and then evolve to C#, and not the other way around. :-\

Since we are in the official forum, we could create a thread (I don't know if it exists) where we upload the scenes in ladder to be able to introduce it in Easy Plc. Or is it not possible to do that?  ???

Hi Allan,

Thank you very much for the feedback!

Machines Simulator is offered with more than 50 automation scenes, only a few on them are programmed with EasyPLC, as example for the users as a starting point.
Keep in mind that not all users are interested in using EasyPLC for programming, many of them prefer other systems like TIA PORTAL from Siemens, Studio 5000 from Allan Braddley, CodeSys, etc.

The softwrae has a very fair price and carrying out the ladder programming of all the scenes (in different programming environments Siemens, AB, CodeSys,...) would suppose a great amount of work and would have to increase the price of the software, which I don't want it to happen, since the goal is to make it an accessible tool for everyone, especially students and individuals.

For people who want to have programming examples, there is already the EasyPLC Tutorial Manager tool that presents 20 totally new scenes with the resolution of them in three different programming systems, EasyPLC, Siemens TIA PORTAL and Studio 500 from AB. This package is purchased separately at a very affordable price.

I can assure you that all the scenes that make up Machines Simulator can be programmed with a PLC in any of the programming languages, in fact they are all inspired by real automation systems.

I think it's a great idea that users contribute to the creation and resolution of the different scenes of Machines SImulator in their preferred programming languages, for this you have the User contributions thread within Machines Simulator, where users can create their threads with the developments they have made: https://nirtec.com/forum/index.php?board=8.0

Thank you very much for your suggestion
