Software emulation for RSLogix??
Software emulation for RSLogix??
(OP)
Does anyone know of any software that will emulate a PLC to test projects without using external hardware? I would like to test my RSLogix projects before having to d/l them to hardware. I know it's a part of PicoSoft, it allows you to run your programs right on your computer and shows you the inputs that you can click on to simulate the real thing and shows the outputs as lights. I would like to find something similar for RSLogix.

Which Type you are looking for.
I think you can use 1746-SIM for all SLC 16-point,24 volt.
For more details you can visit the folloeing WEB.

RA sells RSTestStand, which sounds like it will do what you want. It simulates the I/O to your PLC.
With RSLogix Emulate (5 or 500), which emulates your PLC processor, you could have a virtual plant, making virtual money. <G>
There are some other plant simulation software programs available, but since you mention RSLogix, RA would be your best bet.
