RSLogix 5000: Understanding ControlLogix Basics

RSLogix 5000 – Understanding ControlLogix Basics guides the reader in building the skills necessary to effectively program and troubleshoot a ControlLogix project, using RSLogix 5000 development software. Step-by-step discussion and illustrations build upon many key concepts that are essential to know before launching into a programming project. Many of these PAC concepts are quite different from traditional PLC programming and project development. A few of the topics covered in this RSLogix 5000 study guide includes: • The overall project structure and components of any project. • Doing a Firmware revision. • Using ControlFlash • The ControlLogix Architecture and how different modules function. • Tag creation and I/O Addressing • Tag types including “produced”, “consumed” and “user-defined” tags and how they are used. • I/O Buffering • Sequencing of programs and routines within the project. • Building and using Fault Routines. • Building and using Arrays Many illustrations, with actual Ladder programming, are included to highlight and present concrete examples of various concepts.
