I would like to learn Rs Logix 5000 but do not want to waste alot of money, maybe a few hundred dollars or so. I looked on the internet and have found a couple of places that will send a simulated training disk to learn how to program for around $199.00. and found one for around $75.00. The company I work for has 2 differant plants hooked to a distrabution center. The one I work in uses Rs logix 500 and the new plant uses 5000. We also have 2 more plants in town that use both 500 and 5000. In the future, I would like to help trouble shoot PLCs in all plants. I have a great desire to learn and like working with PLCs in which I have wrote programs for a plant of ours out of state while I was working ther and have change programs to improve production and safety using Rslogix 500. Any help in finding a good simulator training disk or good training for RsLogix 5000 would be greatly appreciated. I am a hands on kind of person who learns best when actualy doing a program I can see work in the real world or on a simulator. I realy enjoy programing on the job and in spare time at home. I find it relaxing and a fun challange. It is a hoby of mine also. Thank you all in advance for your help.
