Open the drop-down menu option by navigating to Slot | Createģ. Start up the SoftLogix 5800 Chassis Monitor software.Ģ. To configure a SoftLogix controller, perform the following steps:ġ. The SoftLogix controllers need to be licensed in order to run, and Rockwell Activation Manager will also need to be installed. It can also be found on the Rockwell website for approved customers and system integrators. SoftLogix 5800 is included in the annual release of the Rockwell Automation toolkit. Learn MoreĪdditional software products are available from Rockwell Software.In this exercise, we will configure a SoftLogix controller in the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor. Additional required software may include RSNetWorx network configuration software and RSLinx communication software. The controllers and modules you select, along with your network configuration, determine what additional software packages you need to configure and program your system.

Use Studio 5000 Logix Designer software to program your SoftLogix™ system. Install multiple communication interfaces into the SoftLogix PC to configure a gateway to bridge or route control and information data between different networks. Use the built-in serial port on your SoftLogix controller to communicate over RS-232 serial networks. Use your own Ethernet card to communicate over EtherNet/IP™ networks. Use Bulletin 1784 Communication Cards with your SoftLogix™ controllers to monitor and control I/O on ControlNet™ or DeviceNet™ networks. The multi-tasking operating system supports 32 configurable tasks that you can prioritize.ġ789 SoftLogix Controllers Communications They take the control functions normally found in dedicated programmable controllers, encapsulate those functions in software and run them on a commercial operating system.
