RSLogix 5000 Software

RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series software is designed to work with Logix5000 controller platforms. RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series software is an IEC 61131-3 compliant software package that offers relay ladder, structured text, function block diagram, and sequential function chart editors for you to develop application programs. Create your own instructions by encapsulating a section of logic in any programming language into an add-on instruction.

RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series software also includes axis configuration and programming support for motion control. With RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series software, you need only one software package for discrete, process, batch, motion, safety, and drive-based applications.

RSLogix Emulate 5000 Software

RSLogix Emulate 5000 software (9310-WED200ENE) is the emulation package for the Logix5000 controllers. RSLogix Emulate 5000 software, used in conjunction with RSLogix 5000 software, lets you run and debug your application code while at your computer. In addition, RSLogix Emulate 5000 software lets you test HMI screens, developed in FactoryTalk View SE software for example, without the need to connect to a real controller.

You can set tracepoint and breakpoint instructions (ladder diagram only) in your application code, use traces, and also vary the execution speed of the emulator. RSLogix Emulate 5000 software supports all the programming languages (ladder diagram, function block diagram, structured text, and sequential function chart). RSLogix Emulate 5000 software does not allow for control of real I/O.

Logix-based Training

Rockwell Automation offers several different levels of training for your Logix system. While most of these training aids are ControlLogix specific, the lessons and tools also apply to the other Logix platforms.

Option Description
Instructor-led courses Courses are best suited for people new to the Logix architecture and for those new to programmable controllers.
For available ControlLogix courses and descriptions, see http://www.rockwellautomation.com/services/training/clgxrslgx5000.html
Computer-based and web-based training programs Programs that are designed to provide essential information to perform ControlLogix job-related tasks. Students learn through realistic simulations, detailed graphics and animations, hands-on interactive exercises, and review questions. Computer-based and web-based training can be used as a pre-requisite for more advanced training, or it is best used as a resource following an instructor-led course. Course content can be repeated to continuously refresh knowledge and review important information.
See http://www.rockwellautomation.com/services/training/cbt.html
Training workstations Workstations can be used to reinforce and practice skills, train new employees, and ease the transition from one technology to another in a plant. Workstations also provide users with hands-on maintenance, troubleshooting, and programming experience using actual equipment. Workstations are used with most of the available instructor-led courses. A variety of standard ControlLogix workstations are available and they include combinations of network hardware (ControlNet, DH+), control hardware (controller, programming cable, power supply, I/O modules), motion control hardware (motion module, servo drive, motor), and operator interface hardware (pushbutton potentiometer, voltmeter).
See http://www.rockwellautomation.com/services/training/workstations.html
Job aids Useful resources to take back to your facility after completing instructor-led and computer-based training. Job aids ensure that you are consistently using best practices, and they provide immediate hardware and software information when it is needed so production does not slow.
