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.
The RSLogix is a programming package used for project development and productivity developed operate on Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is compatible with programs that were created with Rockwell Software’s DOS-based programming packages for the PLC-5 processors. It merges and displays project information in an accessible project tree. It has a Program Editor that can edit several rungs at once and it assigns symbols to addresses that have not yet been assigned by the users. The Project Verifier also corrects any error made in the project, the Online Cross-Reference simultaneously displays cross-reference information with a control program online or on a report and the Advanced Diagnostics locates problem areas in the application by using Search and Replace in locating and replacing addresses and description texts, then examining data table elements status together with the Custom Display Monitor and reviewing status bit settings like scan time, math registers and interrupt settings with the use of Tabbed Displays. The Consolidated Project View allows access to I/O configurations, program files, data table files and more.
