ITS PLC PROFESSIONAL EDITION MICROLOGIX 1400 SOFTWARE
Well that's it for today's article about the software used to program CompactLogix and ControlLogix processors. Note: I don't often recommend the “Pro” version as it is bundled with software most users will never need.

RSLogix and Studio 5000 licenses come in several different bundles or packages, each supporting a different range of products and features.įor those who will only be using the lower cost CompactLogix, they can purchase the lower cost Studio 5000 Mini or Lite edition.īut for those who also need to program the more expensive ControlLogix processors, they will need the more expensive Standard, Full, or Pro version of the software which supports all of the CompactLogix and ControlLogix processors. This is the communication software required for RSLogix or Studio 5000 to communicate to your Logix processors.

It should also be noted that when you install either RSLogix or Studio 5000, RSLinx Classic Lite will also be installed. Note: The requirement of the major software version matching the controller's major firmware version is often referred to as “lock step” compatibility, so you'll want to be sure it gets installed as well. Note: The MINOR versions of the Software and Firmware do not need to match because the software and firmware minor versions increment at different intervals when software or firmware issues are found and corrected, and therefore they are not related or dependent on each other.įor example, if you have one ControlLogix processor loaded with firmware version 16, and another with 21, and a CompactLogix loaded with firmware version 24, you would want to install RSLogix 5000 version 16, as well as Studio 5000 version 21 and 24. When you go to install the software, you'll need to install all the MAJOR versions of RSLogix 5000 and Studio 5000 that match the firmware versions of “Logix” controllers you're going to need to connect to.

Why you may need multiple versions of each Note: To find out which versions your processor supports, check out this article.

When you do purchase a copy of Studio 5000, you not only get the lastest shipping version of Studio 5000, but you also get several previous versions of both Studio 5000 and RSLogix 5000 ( details here)įirst, you'll need to use Studio 5000 to go online or program Logix processors with firmware revisions of 21 or higher.īut you'll also need to use RSLogix 5000 to go online or program Logix processors with firmware revisions of 20 and lower. You can also request a thirty day “temporary activation” if you're just trying the software out, or if waiting on a purchase order to be issued (more information about that in this article.) If you don't have a copy, you can purchase it from your local Rockwell representative, and in most cases you'll received a link to download the software within a day (see this article for more information.) To program a CompactLogix or ControlLogix processor you're going to need a copy of Studio 5000 or RSLogix 5000.
