iTrain is currently the most widely used software. It offers full support for VPEB products. This software is multi-platform, meaning it is suitable for Windows, Linux, macOS, as well as Raspberry Pi and tablets. Additionally, various functionalities have been developed, such as relay-controlled blocks and the use of MultiMaus and LocoNet hand controllers.

Koploper is the best-known software program and was perhaps the first serious software on the market. Unfortunately, this software is no longer under development, though it remains available for users to use. Koploper is only available for Windows. For Linux and macOS, the software can be run via a virtual machine.

RocRail has traditionally been an open-source software package, allowing users to handle much of the development themselves. The RocRail user group has expanded significantly, and it is now seen as a lightweight alternative to iTrain. This software is also multi-platform, making it suitable for Windows, Linux, macOS, and ARM. However, it lacks many of the functionalities offered by programs like iTrain and Koploper.
Limited free software, paid version available.
WinDigipet is a German-language program that is particularly popular in Germany. For VPEB products, this program only supports the DinaSys DTC turntable control.
