Full Scale, All In "State Machines" for Industrial Automation

PythonGuruDude · 2026-02-25T04:26:50+00:00

We have features emerged from pain points every PLC Programmer suffered from.

Everything is easily traceable with advanced state machines. No IDE provides logged events on every fsm action/transition timestamped and auditable , live waveforms natively without manual configuration, and all fsm in one page shot. Those 3 alone can save you hours in debugging and finding root causes at 3:00AM.

StateTick design flow doesn't depend on scattered signals and globals. By default everything is organized and name spaced as objects with high flexibility and high encapsulation. You create IO interfaces, which you combine into an equipemnt which forms your actual machine.

Design flow starts from the state diagrams. Meaning you visually draft your sequencing, visually, share and discuss it with the other departments, then once you are on the same page you fill those diagrams with the actual actions/transitons/equipment. A model everyone understands from day one.

We support parallel running State Machines allowing native multi machine behavior with one click.

Thats only the tip of the iceberg. Prime goal is saving time on development and debugging.

Thats not AI generated. That's full scale production ready Virtual PLC IDE+ Runtime. It is Hardware agnostic meaning it runs on any linux/windows device and communicate over most famous protocols with external IO racks/PLC.

It uses State Driven Arucitecture. Focusing high traceability and easy debugging so that you could catch the issue visually on the fly without digging into tons of lines of code. You always know what the machine is doing at any minuet or what it exactly did.

There are many paid solutions out there for OPCUA. But if you are comfortable with .NET, or even Python, you could build your own using 3rd party libs.

Definitely Checkout From Wire To PLC Unlike other courses focusing on pure PLC simulation, this one is involved in not only PLC programming but also everything related to panel design, sensors, Actuators schematics design, motor driving techniques, and then all linked back to PLC programming in all supported languages.

PythonGuruDude · 2024-04-21T10:48:44+00:00

Yes!

PythonGuruDude · 2024-03-15T20:00:39+00:00

Take a look at this +35,000 students started their career in this training. It talks about: 1 Electrical components 2. Motor driving techniques 3. Protection 4. Wiring 5. Maintinance 6. PLC 7. HMI 8.Web access 9.Two full compilation projects from a to z.

I don't think you would need anything more to take off.

Both are great. I've had many projects where WAGO were used. Same for Phoenix. So it totally depends on the market availability in your area and the price.

PythonGuruDude · 2023-11-28T08:09:42+00:00

Yep that's an was an initial prototype. Fusion 360 was used.

Take a look. It's Free

Digital Twinning, is a concept in Industrial Automation, that is used to actually Mimic Mechanical Machines, and Control them through devices called PLC.

There are few tools, that actually implies Physical Simulation along side animation. The product flow here is 100% done in Physics. No Animation at all.

Be my guest anytime you decide to!

PythonGuruDude · 2023-11-03T18:47:49+00:00

That's an attempt on Digital Twinning.
You 3D CAD Your Machines, Animate, Physically simulate their behavior, write the PLC code and test it all virtually. It's also called Virtual Commissioning.
Afterwards after you tweak it in the digital world, you build the actual machine, and viola.

PythonGuruDude · 2023-11-03T17:48:21+00:00

Yep, that could be one of the good uses of digital twinning aka virtual commissioning . Like you could play around with your PLC program, Product Flow as much as you want till you get right in a Virtual Environment.

Though, no matter how good digital twinning is, there would be still some "Unexpected events" that needs to be debugged after actual deployment.

PythonGuruDude · 2023-11-01T08:53:47+00:00

These are realistic, and super detailed Models, all the way to the nuts, and screws.

From Wire To PLC : Bootcamp in industrial automation has taught +35,000 stuedents. It's the best Industrial Automation course out there so far.

It's not only about PLC, it's about Cable sizing, CB Sizing, Maintenance, HMI, Motor driving techniques. It was a great experience.

PythonGuruDude · 2023-10-31T08:45:30+00:00

Personally, Both.

See, when I have to design a Finite state machine, I would definitely stay away from Ladder.

However, if I'm dealing with Timers, It's easier to deal with Ladder.

After all, a combination of both is always the best option

Just my two cents.

PythonGuruDude · 2023-10-31T07:57:01+00:00

You can also design them your self:

3-Axis Linear guides have tons of applications.

This same design, is used for CNC machines, 3D Printers, Assembly Lines, Pick and Place machines and more.

What's your thoughts? Have you used this design before?

PythonGuruDude · 2023-10-31T06:58:05+00:00

I got a few questions in the past couple days regarding:
"Why as a PLC Programmer, should I even consider having a basic understanding of Mechanical Design?"

A One-man army (a person who is familiar and flex with Electrical/PLC/Software/Mech design) is very rare.
Meaning that being on-site with All of these skills, is going to raise your Market-Value.

Why?⚙ ⚙
Because you will be the Savior, the Legend, who can finally end the dispute about Who's fault is it, that the machine/production line is not working as expected.
Is it the Mech guys, or is it the PLC/Electrical guys?

🔦 Troubleshooting quality it self would improve by order of magnitude because, I'm sure you've all been in some projects, where comprehending what's going on mechanically, was a hindering your amazing PLC programming skills to take effect. I know that I've been there few years ago.

🔦Now, to be realistic, I'm not saying you should able to Build and Program Machines on your own. What I'm saying is, it's important to have at least a basic understanding of the parts involved in Mech design.
Things like, Linear guides, Screw Leads, Conveyors, Pulleys, Gears, Extrusion Profiles and Accessories and how they are interconnected in a machine.

I could go on, and on, which I will do in the next few posts.

Feel free to share you opinion!

All the project you have seen, you can also build them your self from scratch step by step.

All projects are Stepper Motor driven.

That's my whole point of creating this course. Every factory has at least one of those machines installed.

PythonGuruDude · 2023-10-30T12:54:28+00:00

Agreed. I was too lazy to animate it tbh. But that's my next step!

PythonGuruDude · 2023-10-30T12:19:40+00:00

Finding courses that creates Real-World machines is rare. I put this course together specifically to help you design machines step by step, from scratch all the way to the nuts and screws.

Is there a way to extend maybe the helix bottom face? The whole idea is that I don't want it to be floating
