Which Omron addresses can I practise?

The current parser supports 0.00–99.15 input channels, 100.00–199.15 output channels, W and H bit areas, and D word addresses.

Can I practise Omron timers and counters?

Yes, within the TIM and CNT subset. Timer presets use a fixed 100 ms base and # values are simplified as decimal.

Can the simulator connect to an Omron PLC?

No. It has no hardware communications, project transfer or online monitoring.

Eight Omron simulation skills in context

Connect channel-bit addresses to a working control task

Start with the channel map, then make work bits, timers, counters and data words visible on a small machine. The final step is always model-specific verification in the correct Omron engineering environment.

Generic PLC training bench with channel 0 inputs, channel 100 outputs and Omron CX-style ladder practice — 01Use the 16-point input and output banks to see how channel-bit addresses become individual Boolean states.

Omron-style training map for input channel 0, output channel 100, W work bits, H holding bits and D words — 02Read the channel and bit separately, then keep W, H and D memory roles distinct as the program grows.

Motor starter PLC training rig demonstrating a W work-bit latch — 03Pulse the set and reset conditions, observe the W bit persist between scans and verify the mapped motor output.

Bottle conveyor training cell with PLC timer TIM and counter CNT status — 04Use TIM and CNT against sensor events so the preset and done conditions are tied to a visible sequence.

Pressure transmitter and PLC process bench showing D-memory values and a trend — 05Move and calculate D-word values, then compare the result with the instrument signal and process trend.

Technician comparing browser PLC training logic with an engineering workstation beside a guarded machine — 06Transfer the reasoning into CX-Programmer or Sysmac Studio only after matching the software to the actual CPU family.

Vendor-neutral PLC conveyor training bench showing channel-bit inputs, a work bit and a mapped motor output — 07Trace each sensor transition through the channel-bit input, internal work state and physical conveyor response over repeated scans.

Industrial process training bench connecting PLC data memory to an analog vessel level and live trend — 08Use D-memory as part of an observable process task, then verify scaling and model-specific behavior in the appropriate engineering software.

A small runtime for observable Omron logic

This simulator is for the stage where a learner needs quick cause and effect: toggle an input, follow the logic result, inspect internal state and verify the output.

It does not pretend to be CX-Simulator or a Sysmac virtual controller. The executable contract is the support matrix on this page, and the final program still belongs in the correct Omron toolchain.

Address translation sheet

Read the memory map before the rung

These are the address forms this learning runtime recognises. The final column states the simulator behavior, including intentional simplifications.

Device / area	Role	Example	Browser behavior
0.xx	Input simulation	0.00 and 0.01	Drives browser input points with 16 bits per channel.
100.xx	Output simulation	100.00	Displays the corresponding training output state.
W	Work state	W0.00	Can be set, reset and read on later rungs.
H	Holding-style state	H0.00	Kept as a distinct address family inside the program.
D	Word operations	MOV #25 D0	Supports basic deterministic data moves and arithmetic.

Choose the right simulator

Browser practice vs official engineering simulation

Both are useful, but they answer different questions. Start here to make the logic observable; use the vendor environment to validate a real controller project.

Decision	This browser simulator	Official vendor environment
Primary job	Learn syntax and scan behavior quickly	Engineer a project for a selected controller
Runtime scope	The exact subset published on this page	Controller- and version-specific implementation
Project format	Text exercises inside the training app	Native vendor project, libraries and configuration
Hardware transfer	Not supported	Upload, download and online diagnostics

Worked example

A latched Omron work bit

The program makes internal state visible by mirroring W0.00 to output 100.00. It is valid for the current Omron parser.

Run your own program

Omron mnemonicParser-valid example

; 0.00 sets W0.00, 0.01 resets it
LD    0.00
SET   W0.00
LD    0.01
RSET  W0.00
LD    W0.00
OUT   100.00

Learning sequence

A four-pass simulator exercise

01
Run the idle state
Confirm W0.00 and 100.00 begin false.
02
Pulse the set input
Toggle 0.00 and observe the work bit remain true.
03
Pulse the reset input
Toggle 0.01 and verify both the work bit and output clear.
04
Rebuild in Omron software
Check the exact instruction and address behavior for the target controller.

Engineering boundary

Not CX-Simulator and not a virtual Omron CPU

The browser executes a training subset in a vendor-neutral runtime. It cannot prove cycle timing, memory retention, special instruction behavior or I/O compatibility for a physical Omron PLC.

The support matrix is intentionally narrower than CX-Programmer.
Timer and # preset behavior is simplified and documented.
Final validation belongs on the correct Omron engineering stack and hardware.

Questions

Omron PLC Simulator for CX-Style Programming Practice FAQ

No. It is an independent browser training runtime with an Omron-style parser, not CX-Simulator and not an Omron virtual controller.
