Simulate real PLC Run mode in your browser — put your program in Run and watch the ladder logic scan and execute like a real PLC, no hardware, free. Here's how.
⚡ QUICK ANSWER
Run mode is when a PLC actually executes your program — it continuously scans the inputs, solves the ladder logic, and updates the outputs, over and over. The ACC PLC Simulator reproduces that in your browser: put your program into Run mode and it behaves like a real PLC on a machine, so toggling an input drives your logic and your outputs respond in real time. That means you can see exactly how your program runs — the same continuous scan a physical PLC does — without any hardware, install, or cost. It's the closest thing to running your logic on a real controller, right in a browser tab, which makes it ideal for learning and testing before you ever touch equipment. Open it and put your program in Run mode — the link is below.
