Although the basic behaviors of the instructions in IL of the SimuPLC are similar to the STL of the STEP 7, they are not, surely, exactly equal.
There is no any guarantee, neither explicit or implicit, which the control program that works on determined form in the Simulator, by lesser and more elementary that it is, will function exactly of the same form on the referred PLC equipment or on any other.
The Simulator SimuPLC serves only for finality of apprenticeship, training and simulation of the principles and concepts of the programmable logic controls. Any eventual effective use of control programs implemented and simulated on the SimuPLC must be preceded of rigorous phases of study, project, implementation, tests and production, in the PLC equipment chosen to real implementation.
