Course Description

Simulation is becoming a core concept in automation, with many companies providing simulation systems and digital twins to recreate your own system, in order to be able to develop PLC control code that acts on a virtual clone of the real system.

In this course, you will learn some basics principles on how to create a simple simulation of your system directly on your PLC.

We will start by the developing some general-purpose basic components, that will allow us to simulate some basics systems. After that, we will use these components to simulate more complex systems in guided exercises and lessons.

In this course, we will use the Structured Text language in the CoDeSys environment and we will expand the built-in CoDeSys visualization tools that can help you to create helpful graphical visualizations, for our simulations.

You don't need a real PLC to access this course, because we will use CoDeSys Simulation mode, that can run directly on your PC.

I've used this simulation knowledge and tools in my previous courses and many students asked me insights on how they works. If you want to know how they work and how to create your own, this is the course for you!

As a PLC Software Engineer, the world is moving towards simulation and digital twins, and these are some skills that will become more and more important over the next years!

This course is about simulation but also about visualization. Everything is very, very well explained. If you have some expirience in any programming language and a bit experience with CODESYS, you will be happy.

By Rabah Hagag on 8/21/2024

The course in general good, but the last chapter was a bit unorganized. The instructor changes the functions and requirement based on his own opinion. There were no clear design criteria that make following the instructor easier, otherwise i rate the course 5. Wish he will make the necessary changes.

At the beginning of the lecture, it would be nice if the final goal in the lecture is presented and explain a rough design.

By Cody Cooper on 4/10/2024

There is a lot of terminology used in this course that wasn't explained in the previous PLC Programming course.

By Randy Dulaney on 1/30/2024

This course was well thought out and presented. I had to re-watch a couple lectures to fully grasp the concepts which is no fault of the instructor. I was following along in Codesys. Great job!

By Yuki on 7/19/2023

Codesysを使ってPLCの動作をシミュレーションできる。実際に動いているのをみるほうが絶対にわかりやすい。 残念なのはコースの映像が小さいので、かなり大きい画面じゃないとコードが良く見えない。

By Alexander Frolov on 5/25/2022

Very comprehensive guide into simulation and UI development with CoDeSys.

By Syed Zakeer Hussain on 11/17/2021

Fabulous Course, I think this first this kind of course. Well explained about simulation, and FB.

By Timo Trogen on 10/3/2021

This is a very good course to learn advanced CoDeSys ST programming. Highly recommended.

By Danie Stoop on 10/3/2021

If I learned one thing in life, it is that you can always learn from someone else - and today I did. Thank you!
