SLC 500 Programmable Controllers and I/O Modules
Flexible, Easy-to-Use Editors
Flexible program editors let you create application programs without worrying about getting the syntax correct as you create
your program. A Project Verifier builds a list of errors that you can navigate to make corrections at your convenience.
Powerful online editing features let you modify your application program while the process is still operating. The Test Edits feature
allows you to test the operation of your modification before it becomes a permanent part of the application program. Online and
offline editing sessions are limited only by the amount of available RAM.
Projects developed with Rockwell Software’s DOS programming packages, SLC-500 and MicroLogix A.I. Series, APS and MPS,
can be moved to the RSLogix environment simply by opening the existing project with the appropriate RSLogix package. Conversely,
it is just as easy to move a project developed with RSLogix to any of the DOS programming packages.
Drag-and-drop editing lets you quickly move or copy instructions from rung to rung within a project, rungs from one subroutine
or project to another, or data table elements from one data file to another.
Context menus for common software tools are quickly accessible by clicking the right mouse button on addresses, symbols,
instructions, rungs, or other application objects. This convenience provides you with all the necessary functionality to accomplish
a task within a single menu. This is a time-saving feature because you don’t have to remember the placement of functionality
options in the menu bar.
Point-and-Click I/O Configuration
The easy-to-use I/O Configurator lets you click or drag-and-drop a module from an all-inclusive list
to assign it a slot in your configuration. Advanced configuration, required for specialty and analog
modules, is easily accessible. Convenient forms speed entry of configuration data. An I/O auto
configuration feature is also available.
Powerful Database Editor
Use the Symbol Group Editor to build and classify groups of symbols so that you can easily
select portions of your recorded documentation to be used from project to project.
Use the Symbol Picker list to easily address instructions in your ladder logic by clicking
addresses or symbols to assign them to your ladder instructions. Stop worrying about
restricting the amount of the descriptive text that accompanies the ladder logic. Your
documentation is only limited by the size of your hard disk.
Export your database to Comma-Separated-Value (CSV) format for use with many of today’s popular spreadsheet programs to take
advantage some of their features. Once finished, simply import the CSV file into RSLogix.
