( Note: Our PLC Training Software is a prerequisite to this PAC Training course. )

This screenshot of RSLogix 5000 TON (Timer On Delay) training in the software. You will learn subtle differences. For example, a PAC doesn't have the option to change the timebase like a PLC does. A preset of 1000 = 1 second; you must remember that while working with Controllogix PACs. (Many other helpful tips and shortcuts in the RSLogix 5000 training software.)

One of the most challenging topics for those transitioning from the PLC to working with PACs is the replacement of memory addresses with "Tags". So, we cover this with interactive step-by-step simulated exercises, including creating a new tag with the RSLogix 5000 simulation. For most applications of Rockwell's PACs (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and FlexLogix) out in the real world, the machine designers use ladder logic as the programming language of choice. So, understanding RSLogix 5000 tags helps you overcome most of the PLC to PAC learning curve.

Another critical topic to be aware of with PACs like Controllogix is "Task", and how they can interrupt an emulated subroutine of ladder logic in the middle of the 'scan' to perform a different timed or conditional task. When you get to these industrial computers (PAC) specific topics, you will want to use them repeatedly to understand and remember the new concepts fully.

This RSLogix 5000 training software screenshot shows how an FRD instruction works when ladder logic is one of five available programming languages. It shows the subtle differences while giving a great refresher to your previous PLC training. This screenshot shows that the RSLogix 5000 simulator has great additional tools to simulate the real world better.

Note: This training software does not include an RSLogix 5000 simulator that you can type your own code/logic into. It does allow you to interact with pre-defined RSLogix 5000 simulations relevant to the topic being taught.

RSLogix 5000 programming training is taught and demonstrated from the beginning of the process, similar to mapping out your process with a flow diagram, introducing you to more advanced programming languages like Structured Text (ST is like the computer programming language Pascal.)

Of course, this Controllogix training also covers hardware and communication topics like RS232 configuration.

This course introduces you to additional programming languages besides ladder logic, like the Function Block programming language. Using the RSLogix 5000 simulator, you can watch how it works in real time. Try our free online RSLogix 5000 training (CLXTrainer) demo.

Like our PLC training software, which covers analog, so does this RSLogix 5000 training simulation software. The screen shows an example. With a PAC, you set the analog scaling in the I/O module configuration instead of using instructions in the ladder logic of computer programming code..
