.rsp File Extension

Developer: Rockwell Automation

File type: RSLogix PLC Program File

You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .rsp. Files with the file extension .rsp can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .rsp files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.

what is a .rsp file?

An RSLogix PLC program file is implemented with specifications proprietary to Rockwell Automation, and these RSLogix PLC program files are stored in the RSP file format. These RSLogix PLC program files are pproject output data files that can be created and edited using the RSLogix software. Affixed with the .rsp extension, the content of an RSLogix PLC program file may include source code and reference data used by certain Allen-Bradley PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers). These pieces of data stored in an RSLogix PLC program file are program logic codes entered and saved by the author of the RSP file, and these codes can be developed with the free-form ladder editor. PLC ladder logic designs can also be integrated into the content of these RSLogix PLC program files. Files in the RSP format may also be copies of project output files that have been generated by the program automatically, for backup purposes. These RSLogix PLC program files can be authored using version 5 of the RSLogix software, along with RSLogix 5000 and RSLogix 500.

how to open a .rsp file?

Launch a .rsp file, or any other file on your PC, by double-clicking it. If your file associations are set up correctly, the application that's meant to open your .rsp file will open it. It's possible you may need to download or purchase the correct application. It's also possible that you have the correct application on your PC, but .rsp files aren't yet associated with it. In this case, when you try to open a .rsp file, you can tell Windows which application is the correct one for that file. From then on, opening a .rsp file will open the correct application.

Rockwell Automation RSLogix

The Rockwell Automation RSLogix is a software that uses a single platform and a common control engine in developing localized applications. It provides features and tools like ladder logic, structured text, function block diagram, sequential function chart editors used in program development and support for the S88 equipment phase state model utilized in batch and machine control applications. It has real-time access to information needed by the users for the development of complex control solutions. It features the the CompactLogix 5370 programmable automation controllers (PAC) is a controller used for saving space for storage ad optimum performance, the ControlLogix 5570 PACs used for safety applications and hazardous environments, the Kinetix 350 that is used for connecting and operating the CompactLogix 5370 controllers which supports the Integrated Motion on EtherNet/IP. The software can be integrated with EtherNet/IP devices to connect to other devices through an electronic data sheet which is often used by applications that require tool changes and helps in reducing downtime and improving speed of development.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .rsp files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .rsp. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
