Obtaining Professor Bill's LadderLab The full version of our Professor Bill's LadderLab Simulator is available for download and free evaluation. What this means is that you can download and try out Professor Bill's LadderLab in a 15 day Trial Evaluation mode, and make up your own mind as to whether it's the most advanced PLC Simulator and best training value on the market today. While in the Trial mode of operation, Professor Bill's LadderLab print and file save capability are disabled, and your are limited to the use of the I/O, Door, and Silo simulations. Even with these limitations you'll still find there's no lack of fun or challenge when creating your own programming solutions for Professor Bill's LadderLab's life like process simulations.
What does Professor Bill's LadderLab cost? Professor Bill's LadderLab was developed by educators who wished to offer students the ability to hone their PLC programming
skills,, when,, and where they pleased... With this in mind, we currently offer Professor Bill's LadderLab configured for single computer
operation, at the educational price of $38 (US funds) per computer/license..
DownLoading the Professor Bill's LadderLab Simulator ...... (Download Now!) Professor Bill's LadderLab makes significant use of graphics, but typically clicks along at a good rate on any reasonably modern WinXP through Win10 system. A minimum display setting of 800x600 is best, and Windows' default small font setting is required. If you don't have sound, Professor Bill's LadderLab will still operate, but you will miss out on some of the fun. The Trial Evaluation Mode of operation is primarily intended for testing and evaluation. Keep in mind, that Professor Bill's LadderLab has been designed to augment and enhance PLC training programs, not replace them. What Professor Bill's LadderLab does do however; is it eliminates the dependency on having a PLC, , and a host of electrical components in order to conduct State of the Art PLC training. For those unfamiliar, we've included a sample program file for the Silo Simulation to get you started. When you have Professor Bill's LadderLab running select the Silo Simulation, then click Load in the File Menu and select the file "silo.rsl" which is in the Professor Bill's LadderLab directory. Once it is loaded and you can see the ladder rung program, you can then "GoOnline" and "DownLoad" the program to the PLC (emulator). At this point you can place the PLC into the "RUN" mode. If all goes well, just clicking on the silo simulations START push-button should get the whole process going. To make changes to your program, just place the PLC into the "PGM" mode to enable editing, and once complete, just "Download" again to the PLC before attempting to "RUN" again.
