Most of the PLC development softwares have simulation within it .That means you can test the functonality of the program. Once the program is veerified and commissioned on the plant or machine you dont have to worry about the maintainence from PLC side. Popular brands Plc like Siemens,ABB,Rockwell,Mitsubishi have very very less chance to have maintenance issue. Once you installed it can run many many years without creating a problem.
