Welcome to ControlLogix Controller Quick Start:
About the Exercises
The objective of these exercises is to introduce you to the ControlLogix controller and the RSLogix 5000
programming software. The ControlLogix controller is part of the Logix family of controllers, including the
CompactLogix, FlexLogix, and SoftLogix5800 platforms.
During these exercises, you create and edit a Controller1.ACD file. You will also use the following files:
§
ImportExport.ACD
§
ReusableCode.ACD
§
UserDefined.ACD
§
ControlLogixSampleTags.CSV
See
http://www.ab.com/logix/controllogix/programfiles
for these additional files. They are in a zip file named
control_verA.zip. After you install the RSLogix 5000 software and you download the zip file, unzip the contents
to: C:\RSLogix 5000\Projects. This is the default directory for RSLogix 5000 software project files. You can
save to a different location, just remember the location when you are prompted to open one of the above files.
About the ControlLogix Platform
The ControlLogix platform provides a modular control platform suited for sequential, process, drive, or motion
control - in any combination. With this platform, you can mix multiple processors, networks, and I/O without
restrictions. And as your system grows, you can use the ControlNet network to distribute control to additional
chassis and/or other Logix platforms.
A ControlLogix system can consist of anything from a stand-alone controller and I/O modules in a single
chassis, to a highly distributed system consisting of multiple chassis and networks working together.
ControlLogix will fit your applications if they:
§
require a high performance control solution
§
demand the integration of multiple control disciplines (e.g., high speed packaging machines integrating
sequential and motion control, or web handling applications integrating sequential and drive control)
§
combine batch and process control, but seek a flexible choice of visualization software
§
require a plant-wide control solution, from incoming materials to outbound shipping
§
expand an existing investment in a PLC-5 or SLC 500 controller-based system
