PLC training rig

[denthesparky]

hi all :waving:
i am new to electricians forum,
does anyone know of a good siemens plc to set up as a training rig at home (in man cave),
i need some thing that can be added to as i progress learning plc programming and building projects,
i have been looking at s7 200 & s7 300 but not sure which processor would be best in either,
thanks

Have you considered the S7-1200? you can use the TIA portal software.

Most plc software is available free on line and lets u learn without spending a penny if u want some good plcs easy to learn the basics just ask
