Games Like Baukiste

You build the plant. Your program makes it run.

Baukiste is a training ground for PLC programming and industrial automation. You assemble conveyors, motors, sensors and stations into a plant, equip the control cabinet and local control boxes, and write the program that moves it all. The simulation only provides the hardware. An actuator moves something, a sensor reports something. What should happen is decided by your program alone.

With a real controller or the built-in one

Honest physics, not scenery

A metal sheet is bent into a tub, the tub fills with water, a workpiece only moves while the belt runs. Nothing is shortcut to true/false. If your program is wrong, you see it on the workpiece.

The button press as a ready-made plant

The mod menu holds a complete button press to set up. It has three conveyors, two suction grippers, a slide with two die positions, the press itself and two operator panels with mode selector, Start, Stop, Quit and emergency stop. It places raw parts on the belts via its own outputs. End positions and optical sensors report every step. Two pressing strokes turn sheet, paper, foil and back part into a finished button. Your program makes it run. The list of all signals with their addresses is included.

A handbook guides you

From your first conveyor and motor to your first own program and connecting a real PLC, the built-in handbook explains step by step what you are doing and why.

Devices are files

Every device is a description of signals, mounting points and a schematic symbol. You import device files in the game and share them.

Who it is for

For anyone interested in learning to work with PLCs and getting to know automation better, no plant in the basement required.
