Which PLC Software You Should Use?


Different PLC software requires different licenses. Unfortunately, most of the
softwares are paid.

Many of the brands provide trial versions with limited features. If you want to use
PLC software for individual learning, I think, free trial or limited versions are good
to go with.

Personally, more or less, I have experience of working with the six brands of PLCs
software – ABB PLC (Asea Brown Boveri), AB PLC (Allen Bradley), Siemens 300
PLC, Siemens 200 PLC, Mitsubishi PLC, and Delta PLC.
Are you new to PLC?
ABB PLC, Mitsubishi PLC, and Delta PLC software easy to learn and understand. If
you are new to the PLC programming, I would recommend these PLC
programming.

For most of my FREE PLC tutorial, I am using AC010 ABB PLC software brand.
If you are looking for PLC software for learning or commercial/industrial purpose,
I hope, you find this list of different PLC software brands useful.
