MHJ-Software PLC-Lab Pro 3.5.1: PLC Training & Simulation Software

PLC-Lab Pro 3.5.1 is the latest version of MHJ-Software's practical simulation environment for PLC programming, testing, and virtual commissioning. It bridges the gap between code and reality by providing 2D virtual scenes to test PLC programs safely before commissioning .

Key Features

PLC Program Testing & Commissioning

• Virtual Commissioning Support: Test PLC programs safely in a 2D simulated environment before deploying to real hardware, reducing commissioning risks and costs .

• Hardware-Free Development: Create and test control programs without requiring physical PLC hardware .

PLC Connectivity & Device Support

Supports a wide range of control platforms and simulation environments, including:

• Siemens: PLCSIM for STEP 7 Classic, PLCSIM for TIA Portal (S7-300/1200/1500), PLCSIM Advanced

• MHJ Software: WinSPS-S7 V6 (S7-300 simulation), Grafcet-Studio integration

• Other Platforms: CODESYS V3-compatible controllers, Allen-Bradley controllers

• Modern Protocols: MQTT connectivity for software and hardware integration

• Custom Control: C# scripting for flexible control program development

Educational & Training Applications

• Virtual Learning Factory: Powers MHJ-Software's Mechatronic Simulation Wall (MSW), a 6-meter training system for Industry 4.0 education .

• Multi-Station Simulation: Supports up to four different stations (magazine, processing, quality assurance, sorting) with independent programming and control .

• Python Control: Stations can be controlled directly using Python programming language in computer science classes .

Grafcet-Studio Integration

• Remote Control: Starting from Grafcet-Studio version 2.5.0.0, PLC-Lab can be controlled remotely, automatically switching to RUN mode when Grafcet-Studio enters Watch mode .
