What is the SoftLogix System?
Chapter 2
SoftLogix System Description
The Logix Designer application supports program development for all Logix
controllers. The system can make a connection through a 1784-PCICS card via
the ControlNet network, through a 1784-PCIDS card via the DeviceNet
network, and through a standard Ethernet port via the EtherNet/IP network.
SoftLogix software supports two types of motion cards; the 1784-PM02AE
analog motion card and the 1784-PM16SE SERCOS motion card. See the
release notes for your version of SoftLogix software to learn what features are
supported.
