Any educational station or industrial device can be built in Simultus. For those who want to take advantage of the ready-made educational workstations, we have prepared a few examples. Additional workstations will be successively prepared and put at your disposal.
How to start an educational workstation? Watch the video below
We also invite you to WEBINAR courses. Archival recordings are available under the following links:
- Webinar # 7 Meet Simultus: the new program for automation simulation
- Webinar # 10 Simultus for education - models of virtual educational workstations
Model EDU.1 - Double-acting actuator with limit switches (with PLC program example)
Completely free workstation: Requires the free version of Simultus EDU and the free WinProLadder utility (for FATEK PLC programming).Workstation with one actuator equipped with two limit switches active in limit positions is one of the simplest, basic industrial automation systems. With its help, you can get acquainted with the basics of writing programs for a PLC controller, including the control of the actuator coils, reaction to signals from limit switches, as well as timers and counters.
The described device model is a ready-made example that can be used directly for educational purposes. The model does not need to be modified, but it can also be freely adapted to your needs. It is adapted to be connected to a PLC simulator or to work with a real PLC controller.

Model EDU.2 - Two actuators with limit switches moving a box (with PLC program example)
Completely free workstation: Requires the free version of Simultus EDU and the free WinProLadder utility (for FATEK PLC programming).
Model EDU.3 - Three actuators with limit switches moving a ball (with PLC program example)
Completely free workstation: Requires the free version of Simultus EDU and the free WinProLadder utility (for FATEK PLC programming).
Model EDU.4 - Raw material container with a feeder (with an example of a PLC program)
Completely free workstation: Requires the free version of Simultus EDU and the free WinProLadder utility (for FATEK PLC programming).
Model EDU.5 2-axis module, Fatek controller, example for FATEK PLC trainings
A workstation used during the PLC FATEK trainings. You can simply open the workstation and connect it to the PLC simulator. It is intended for novice PLC users, but takes advantage of Simultus’ advanced features, including solid state physics and collisions between solids.
Two independently movable axes and a gripper allow you to learn sequential programming, use of coil contacts and timers.
Tasks for students can be freely and individually adjusted to their level and advancement.

v2Model EDU.6 - Educational workstation - 2 pneumatic actuators FATEK PLC control
(video - 1:32 min.)
v2A very simple educational workstation ready to be used in the initial stage of learning to write ladder programs for PLC controllers.
You can simply open the station and connect it to the PLC simulator.
The station can be freely modified by the teacher. The actuators have two limit switches and 5/2 pneumatic valves. The valve inputs and the limit switches are connected to the outputs and inputs of the FATEK PLC controller.
Already such a simple position allows you to learn the use of contacts, coils, timers and sequential programming in any configuration invented by the teacher, adapted to the level and advancement of students.
Model EDU.7 - Mobile robot
The following device model is a ready-made example that can be used directly for educational purposes.
It uses physics and collision of solids.
You can convert the simplified model solids into elements of your own design.
The model can be freely modified.
The mobile robot is controlled by a gaming PAD joystick.
Required program version: Simultus EDU Plus.
