Preface
Use this manual to become familiar with the SoftLogix™ 5800 controller and its
features.
Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment™ combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the Studio
5000® environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix™ 5000 software and will continue to be
the product to program Logix5000™ controllers for discrete, process, batch,
motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for
design engineers to develop all of the elements of their control system.
This manual is written to support SoftLogix software version 23.00.00 and the
Logix Designer application. For SoftLogix software version 21 or earlier,
substitute ‘RSLogix 5000 software’ for ‘the Logix Designer application’.
