APIMOU

Apimou is a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) simulator that allows you to create and test simple programs using combinatorial and sequential logic functions. Without having the performance and functionality required to replace a PLC, it allows you to learn about the operating logic of this type of equipment.

Apimou has 32 binary inputs and 32 binary outputs as well as internal variables (step variables, timing variables, counting variables, internal bits).

The outputs can be direct functions of the inputs (logical equations), or depend on a sequence materialized by a grafcet (kind of Sequential Function Chart).

Apimou enables the input of grafcets with an editor allowing all constructions (linear sequences, selections of sequences, simultaneous sequences, multi-grafcets synchronized or not, etc.).

It can run on its own, in simulation mode, or coupled to a software or real operating part, in connected mode.

Eight software operating parts are available . 

For a real operating part, use  Dido. (*)

Apimou also allows to generate an Arduino sketch (C++ code) from the created program, or a sketch for ESP32 with which it is possible to visualize the Grafcet animation on a web page via WiFi.

(*) : The use of an Arduino or ESP32 board is preferable.
