04:59 - Which Software Should I Learn?

Hello and welcome back to another free video from RealPars, the world’s largest online platform for learning about industrial automation. In today’s video, I will answer the question, what is RSLogix?

RSLogix is a programming software that is used to program Allen-Bradley PLCs from Rockwell Automation.

RSLogix 500 is the programming software that is used to program older Allen-Bradley brand PLCs like SLC and MicroLogix.

Since RSLogix 500 is an older piece of software, it does not have many modern features like tag-based programming, the ability to program in a modular way using Add-On Instructions, or support for other IEC 61131-3 programming languages like Sequential Function Chart, Function Block Diagram, and Structured Text.

RSLogix 500 is mostly used to support older automation systems that are controlled by SLC or MicroLogix PLCs. Eventually, these automation systems will be updated to use newer Allen-Bradley PLCs, and RSLogix 500 will be discontinued.

RSLogix 5000 is used to program Allen-Bradley CompactLogix and ControlLogix PLCs up to firmware version 20. These are more powerful PLCs than SLC and MicroLogix PLCs that are used to control connected machines and large processes.

RSLogix 5000 is a more full-featured programming environment than RSLogix 500.

Unlike RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000 lets users write code in any of the IEC 61131-3 programming languages, supports tag-based programming so that programmers don’t have to worry about memory allocation, and lets users leverage Add-On Instructions to develop applications in a modular way.

Studio 5000 Logix Designer is the programming environment that is used to program CompactLogix and ControlLogix PLCs running on firmware version 21 and higher.

Studio 5000 Logix Designer is very similar to RSLogix 5000 but has continued to be updated to include even more features to help PLC programmers work in a productive and efficient way.

Some features that have been added to Studio 5000 Logix Designer include the ability to download comments and tag descriptions to the PLC, the ability to define extended properties for tags and support for modern hardware like Flex5000 I/O for process control.

As a general rule, if you are starting a new project, you will use Studio 5000 Logix Designer to program the PLCs in the project and if you are maintaining an older system, you will use RSLogix 500 or RSLogix 5000, depending on the type of PLC that you are working with.

With so many different types of programming software and Allen-Bradley PLCs available, it can be hard for beginners to understand what software they need to learn to launch their careers as automation professionals.

If you have the chance, learn PLC programming with Studio 5000 Logix Designer or RSLogix 5000.

PLC programming with Studio 5000 Logix Designer is an in-demand skill and more companies will require PLC programmers who know Studio 5000 Logix Designer as they upgrade the PLCs in their factories and plants.

The only problem is that the license for Studio 5000 Logix Designer is quite expensive.

If you don’t have access to a Studio 5000 Logix Designer license, then I recommend that you learn PLC programming with Connected Components Workbench.

Connected Components Workbench is another software from Rockwell Automation that is used to program Micro800 PLCs. Micro800 PLCs are a new generation of PLCs that will replace MicroLogix PLCs.

Finally, I recommend learning PLC programming with RSLogix 500 if you have a specific reason to.

In this video, we introduce "Learn Logix3 - The ControlLogix PLC Family" which is set to be released shortly. Stay tuned for more updates!
