Hey Product Hunt — Paul here 👋 I built PLC Simulator because learning industrial automation still usually means choosing between passive videos, expensive hardware, and Windows-only vendor software. I wanted the shortest possible path from “I’ve never written ladder logic” to “I can program and troubleshoot a working machine.” You can now do that entirely in the browser: • Write ladder logic and structured text with live scan-cycle feedback • Run programs against 2D and 3D motors, conveyors, tanks, robots, and process cells • Learn the same control concepts across 9 PLC dialects • Practice wiring, HMI design, robot programming, commissioning, and fault diagnosis • Complete graded learning paths and build a shareable skills portfolio There’s a free tier with 27 scenarios and no credit card. The product uses real simulator scenes and test-backed machine behavior—not decorative mockups. I’d especially value feedback from controls engineers, technicians, instructors, and people trying to break into industrial automation: 1. Which real-world machine or fault should we simulate next? 2. Where does the learning flow still feel confusing? 3. What evidence would make the portfolio more useful in hiring? Thanks for taking a look. I’ll be here throughout launch day and will reply to every question.
