The point-and-click graphical interface provides a simple, realistic, method of entering and editing ladder logic programs. PLCLogix also includes a free-form ladder editor that allows you to modify multiple rungs of logic at the same time. In addition, it features sophisticated data handling and incorporates both arrays and user-defined structures to provide maximum flexibility and emulation of real world control applications. The application organization is based on using tasks, programs, and routine structures. PLCLogix functionality includes a graphical controller organizer and a point-and-click method of configuring various I/O. Programming and operating PLCs is a “hands on” experience and having lots of time to use the PLC is by far the best way to learn it.īy using PLCLogix, you are able to gain much-needed programming practice by creating and running your own ladder logic programs using tag-based memory. It is essential in the understanding and learning of PLCs and to keep this knowledge refreshed and up to date.

Anyone who currently works with PLCs or who has a desire to learn how PLCs operate needs access to PLC simulation. In addition, if a PLC is programmed incorrectly it can result in lost productivity and dangerous conditions. PLC systems are inherently expensive, and down-time is often very costly. In order to properly understand the operation of a PLC as complex and powerful as the RSLogix 5000, it is necessary to spend considerable time programming, testing, and de-bugging ladder logic programs.
