PLC-Ladder Turns Plain-English Control Ideas Into Testable Logic
An alpha browser tool drafts IEC 61131-3 Structured Text from plain-English descriptions, converts it to ladder logic, and runs it through a PLC simulator.
Field notes
The homepage demonstrates a seal-in circuit in the browser, with START and STOP controls and a short explanation of how the motor remains latched after the start button is released. Its proposed workflow keeps the AI inside a published Structured Text subset, then sends the draft through fixed parsing, type-checking, ladder conversion, and scan-cycle simulation rules. Export is not shown as available yet; PLCopen XML and Siemens SCL for TIA Portal are named as initial targets.
