This One's For The Allen Bradley Guys

[AGENTTINFOIL]

Allen Bradley RS Logix 5 for the PLC 5, Is this for the 500 and what PLCs does this cover?

 

[hd_coop]

I'm not sure if I understand your question but:
RSLogix 5 is used for all PLC 5
RSLogix 500 is used for all Micrologix and SLC500
RSLogix 5000 is used for all Controllogix and Compactlogix.

Rslogix 500 is for the SLC500 and the Micrologix series,Rslogix 5 is for the PLC5 series, Rslogix5000 is for Contrologix series.

I am not that familiar with Allen Bradley although we have a few in our plant, most of what we have are Automation Direct. How can I tell the difference between 5 or 500? This probably seems like a stupid question to you guys, but I want to buy some software and I am not sure what I am after. I have been looking around for a deal, and I just don't want to spend money on the wrong software.

Like the guys said RSLOGIX 5 for PLC 5's and RSLOGIX 500 for SLC 500's.

What is rslogix 500 starter software? can you edit on line? or are there any restrictions with this software?

 

[jstolaruk]

Its configured to only work with one model of Micrologix (1000). that model does not support online editing.

 

[gbradley]

I don't know if they changed it, but the old RSLogix Starter can program SLC 500 as well as Micrologix.
No Online Editing though.

If it is almost big enought to live in and you get a hernia swapping cards then it is a PLC5.

RSLogix 500 Starter (9324-RL0100ENE), will program all MicroLogix and SLC 500 PLC's, with no online editing capability. If you have the latest version (V 7.0), it will support online editing for the new MicroLogix 1100 only. The other "starter" software that only programs one particular MicroLogix 1000 is a free download version and is not the same as RSLogix 500 starter edition.

 

[jstolaruk]

mgvol, thanks for clearing that up. I forgot there was a version with fewer capabilities than the standard version. -jeff

 

[AGENTTINFOIL]

I want the full version for the SLC 500 with no restrictions, Where is the best place to find and what kind of price do you guys think I am looking at? Is it even possible to get a deal?

 

[mgvol]

9324-RL0300ENE: RSLogix 500 standard, $1,167.00

9324-RL0300ENE: RSLogix 500 standard, $1,167.00

Does this cover just the 500, or will it cover others as well? I assume that being standard that it does cover others.

I currently use the standard edition, it will program all the 500's and all the Micrologix line. You can preform on line edits if the processor supports it.
