That's a pretty vague question...what kind (brand) of PLC are you using, what kind of machine are you trying to control, what do you want the machine to do, what kind of inputs and outouts do you plan on using?

We will need a lot more information to try and answer your question.

Automation direct has free PLC software (but allows only 100 Words of ladder code to be downloaded to the PLC). HERES the link.

Last I checked, there cheapest PLC was around $100 USD.
