PLCLogix 500 or PLCLogix 5000?

PLCLogix 500

For RSLogix 500-style PLC programming, ladder logic training and hands-on simulation. You are viewing this simulator.

PLCLogix 5000 PAC Simulator

For RSLogix/Studio 5000, ControlLogix and CompactLogix PAC programming and simulation practice.

 

RSLogix 500® is North America's most-used controller platform. So, getting some hands-on experience with the PLCLogix 500 Simulator is essential. This PLC simulator software lets students design and test ladder logic programs. They can simulate operations and debug like in real-world PLC applications. Schools around the world use this simulator. It gives students hands-on experience in a safe, controlled setting.

rslogix 500 truth table

RSLogix™ Truth Table

PLC Simulator GUI:

The purpose of the PLC simulator GUI is to provide a range of information displayed on a single screen. This information ranges from bit display to program code to status indicators. A green horizontal highlight on both sides of the contact represents the Bit Status. When the contact is green, it shows that the rung's condition is being met. It is true.

 

A green highlighted normally closed contact shows its memory location equals zero. A normally closed contact in a rung looks for the condition of the relay's coil NOT being energized. See the truth table.

 

 

How To Run PLC Simulations

The simulator's user interface makes it easy to run PLC simulations:

 

1. Open one of the 200+ PLC programming example files.

2. Go "Online" with the PLC.

3. Start the simulated 3D-word process.

 

 When the user picks "Online," the simulator uploads the program to the PLC. It then sets the PLC to "RUN" mode. When the selector is "Offline", the simulator is in "PROG" mode so that the user can edit ladder logic.

 

This PLC simulator encourages offline program editing whenever possible. This is best practice.

 

plc io

PLCLogix 500 I/O Interface

I/O PLC Modules:

The I/O PLC modules simulated are ...

 

  • 32 Discrete Inputs
  • 32 Discrete Outputs
  • 1 four-digit BCD Input
  • 1 four-digit BCD Output
  • 4 Analog Input Channels
  • 4 Analog Output Channels

 

The I/O PLC module interface lets users change input switch types. They can choose between normally open or closed limit switches and push buttons. The discrete output simulators use green LED lights to show when an output is ON or OFF.

 

 

10 3D-Worlds To Program

10 Unique Simulated Environments, 14 Total:

PLCs aren’t only for manufacturing. The video demonstrates how other industries also use them.

  • Warehouses
  •  Building automation
  •  Renewable energy
  •  Traffic lights
  •  Car washes

You can find them in many other industries as well. This makes the learners' experience with these simulations even more valuable. Programming for different industries increases the learners' understanding and skills.

 

The simulator includes 10 unique industrial environments and 14 environments in total. Several applications have alternate versions—for example, single and dual air-compressor simulations and two different car-wash simulations.

  • 3 Air compressors
  • 2 Batch processing
  • Bottle line
  • Silo
  • Pump and valve
  • An extra conveyor car wash simulation.

 

Included are 50+ programming examples written to work with the 14 3D worlds. The other examples are set up to use the simulated I/O chassis interface.
