Emulate

Hi, I have small program on RSlogix 500 and I am trying to use emulate on RSlinx software to run this project, I get message it said" Not able to start emulator". How should i use the RSlinx to emulate and practice without using a real processor? How to setup node and driver? once again, i don't have a processor, iam using the RSlogix 500/RSlinx software. to Emulate/simulate a project.
thank you

look under your Rockwell software tab in windows.. (if installed) there is a Rslogix emulate 500 program

on your previous post I thought it was in rslinx but I only found pcl5 emulator driver and slc500 dh485 emulator driver

BTW it's usually considered rude to post 3 times on the same subject.

RsLogix500 emulate software is free to download see link below ( if you don;t have it). Use it for a micrologix project.

Hi,

I have a RSLogix 500 Emulate question: how do I know when 1 scan has completed in my RSLogix 500 program if I put it in run mode and toggle the first input? (or first rung?). Still trying to learn how to use this.Thanks for any help.

I had same problema and I could connect online:

My pc: windows 7 64bits
RSLogix 500 Pro 8.10.00 (CPR 9)
RSLinx Classic 2.59.00 CPR 9 SR 5
RSLogix Emulate 500 6.00.00.07 (CPR9)

I did these steps:

Open the Registry Editor (Start-->Enter regedit in the open field).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->SOFTWARE-->Wow6432Node-->Rockwell Software-->RSLinx-->Loadable Drivers.
Right Click on Loadable Drivers and select New-->Key and name the key EMU500
Right click on EMU500 and select New-->DWORD (32-bit) Value. The name of the key should be AutoLoad. Double click on the AutoLoad to open the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value dialog. Enter 0 under Value Data and select Hexadecimal under Base. Click OK button when finished.
Right click on EMU500 again from the left-hand side and select New-->DWORD (32-bit) Value. The name of the key should be DriverID. Double click on the DriverID to open the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value dialog. Enter 13 under Value Data and select Hexadecimal under Base. Click OK button when finished.
Right click on EMU500 and select New-->DWORD (32-bit) Value. The name of the key should be Flags. Double click on the Flags to open the Edit DWORD (32-bit) Value dialog. Enter 2 under Value Data and select Hexadecimal under Base. Click OK button when finished.
Right click on EMU500 and select New-->String Value. The name of the key should be Description. Double click on the Description to open the Edit String dialog. Enter SLC 500 (DH485) Emulator driver under Value Data. Click OK button when finished.
Right click on EMU500 and select New-->String Value. The name of the key should be DLL. Double click on the DLL to open the Edit String dialog. Enter ABEMU5.DRV under Value Data. Click OK button when finished.
The SLC (DH485) Emulator Driver should now appear available in RSLinx to configure.

Then, I opened Emulator and found my program and chose Station #00,
opened rslinx and chose Emulator driver, Station #01,
then opened rslogix 500 pro and found my program, I selected Comms/System Comms... Selected the processor that I named 00 and go Online from the same window... it still appearing the same text "not able to star emulator"but when I pushed "Ok"... Now is Online!!!

Hope this info help you... I apologize for my English...

Hello, I am new in PLC. I have downloaded RS software, but emulator does not work.
I run Win 8.1 Pro.
The problem is that the emulator can't edit registry.
I run it as administrator, I don't get any error messages, but when I try to download code to MicroLogix 1000, I get the error that Emulator can't edit registry.

Also in my registry there is no key like : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->SOFTWARE-->Wow6432Node-->Rockwell Software-->RSLinx--> ..
In fact there is no Wow6432Node
