I’m a beginner student in process control engineering, can you help me to know some web sites provide free downloadable educational software for process control, field instrumentations principals, and PLCs.
For free PLC software that runs on a PC see "www.audon.co.uk/pc_plc.html":http://www.audon.co.uk/pc_plc.html . The DCIPLC software can run as a simulator or it can be connected to special RS232 hardware that will actually control relays etc. Has a 32 digital I/O channel capability, and also timers, counters and DDE support.
Hello;
Try "www.pcs7.de":http://www.pcs7.de , and select Support. This is the portal address for the PCS7 system from Siemens, and it has links to instrumentation and field comms. A lot of manuals are available, and you can request a sales CD-ROM.
