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.

RSNetWorx Software
RSNetWorx software is the configuration tool for your control network. With RSNetWorx software you can create a graphical representation of your network configuration and configure the parameters that define your network.
Use RSNetWorx software for:
- ControlNet software to schedule network components. The software automatically calculates network bandwidth for the entire network, as well as the bandwidth used by each network component. You must have RSNetWorx software to configure and schedule ControlNet networks.
- DeviceNet software to configure DeviceNet I/O devices and create a scan list. The DeviceNet scanner stores the configuration information and scan list.
- EtherNet/IP software to configure EtherNet/IP devices using IP addresses or host names.

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.
Use RSLogix Emulate software for:
- troubleshooting.
Stop the process whenever a selected rung goes true, effectively freezing the process at the instant that any error occurs.
- ladder logic scanning options.
Scan your ladder logic continuously, one program scan at a time, rung-by-rung, or select a specific block of rungs to emulate. Selecting a block of rungs lets you isolate a particular section of the program for testing purposes. You can also set trace points to trace application program tags and set break points to halt program execution at predetermined locations.

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. See http://www.rockwellautomation.com/services/training/jobaids.html |

ControlLogix Workstation Simulator
Training workstations (ABT-TD catalog numbers) are the ideal support tool that you can integrate into your training and development programs. 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 different combinations of the following equipment:
- Network hardware (ControlNet, DH+)
- Control hardware (controller, power supply, digital I/O modules, analog I/O modules)
- Programming cable (to connect to your computer)
- Motion control hardware (motion modules, servo drives, motors)
- Operator interface panel (pushbuttons, potentiometers, voltmeters)
Job Aids
Job aids (ABT-1756 and ABT-GRDLX catalog numbers) are 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.
