Key Features of Version 1.87

• Full Ladder Logic Emulation – Supports a large subset of RSLogix 500 instructions (timers, counters, compares, math, shift registers, sequencers, etc.).
• Interactive 3D Process Simulations – Includes built‑in animated simulations such as:

  User Interface & Usability

  Drag-and-Drop Editor: The interface mirrors the look and feel of RSLogix 500, enabling users to easily drag instructions into the ladder logic panel. System Requirements for Installation

  • Operating System: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, or 11 (32-bit or 64-bit)
  • Processor: 1 GHz or faster
  • RAM: 512 MB minimum (2 GB recommended)
  • Hard Disk Space: 100 MB for the simulator + additional space for RSLogix 500 (if installing separately)
  • Graphics: Any DirectX 9 or later compatible card (for 3D animations)
  • Additional Software (Crucial): RSLogix 500 or RSLogix Micro Starter Lite (free from Rockwell Automation). The simulator does not have a built-in ladder editor; it works alongside the actual Rockwell software.
