This study aims to carry out pneumatic trainer motion simulations using Festo Fluidsim 3.6 software programming simulation. The trainer design has three main parts, namely a frame made of iron, a programmable automatic control device in the form of a PLC, and the third is a mechanical movement device in the form of a pneumatic circuit. This tool will be integrated into a circuit system, which is then tested with three experiments based on circuit simulations made in the Festo Fluidsim 3.6 software. The test results from 3 simulation experiments show that the PLC control system can send signals to the mechanical motion of a single-acting cylinder. The PLC control system can also send signals to the mechanical motion of a double-acting cylinder with non-simultaneous motion. Other than that, the PLC control system can send signals on the mechanical motion of a double-acting cylinder with simultaneous motion. The three experimental tests found that the number of strokes for a single-acting cylinder was more than that for a double-acting cylinder. The three tests showed that they could move the cylinder well with variations in flow control, namely the flow control openings of 25, 50, 75 and 100%.
