I'm sure Rockwell has a collective look of shame on their face, you just can't see it behind the pile of money you just paid them for Studio5k and Emulate Even with fully licensed copies of Studio 5000 and Emulate, it is a dogshit awful simulation experience compared to any other platform.

You can't simulate even if you had it (requires a different software package like Emulate that is also not free).

There is no trial, just 7 days to fix licensing errors.

Very much not free and you can't even download it without a serial number or toolkit number.

Productivity is an alternate for that simple/budget space. CCW is good for beginners and is what is used for a budget PLC. Codesys is the basis of a ton of platforms, so it's useful to play around with, but won't hold a candle to AS or TwinCAT. If you are anti-B&R and pro-Beckhoff, then TwinCAT is for you it is equivalent but it is less user friendly. I'm biased, but think Automation Studio is by far the best in terms of capability vs ease of use and the included Coffee Machine demo program does a good job showing off the basics of a lot of different concepts. I've used all of these software packages and all have a use.

Productivity Suite from Automation Direct - Free.

I should point out it is NOTHING like Logix, so don't think it will be anything like Studio5000 (which has no trial).
