Familiar ladder diagram programming makes the SLC 500 family easy to program using a
personal computer and RSLogix 500 Programming Software.
The RSLogix 500 ladder logic programming package was the first PLC programming
software to offer unbeatable productivity with an industry-leading user interface.
RSLogix 500 is compatible with programs created using Rockwell Software’s DOSbased
programming packages for the SLC 500 and MicroLogix families of processors, making
program maintenance across hardware platforms convenient and easy.
RSLogix 500 may be used with Windows 98, Windows NT (4.0), Windows 2000, or
Windows XP.
Flexible, Easy-to-use Editing Features
Create application programs without worrying about getting the syntax correct. A
Project Verifier builds a list of errors that you can navigate through to make corrections at
your convenience.
Powerful online editors allow you to modify your application program while the process
is still operating. The Test Edits feature tests 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.
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.
Step 6 - Select:
• the appropriate RSLogix 500
package for your application
