SoftLogix controllers are capable of processing larger volumes of data at a higher speed than even the most powerful Logix controller as it utilizes the computing power of modern PCs.
In the following exercises, we will perform the following tasks:
- Configuring the SoftLogix 5800 chassis monitor
- Configuring the RSLinx virtual-backplane driver
- Creating a Logix Designer SoftLogix project
- Simulating values using the 1789-SIM module
In the next section, we will learn how to configure the SoftLogix 5800 chassis monitor application, which is a virtual, Windows-based controller rack.
Configuring the SoftLogix 5800 chassis monitor
In this exercise, we will configure a SoftLogix controller in the SoftLogix chassis monitor.
SoftLogix 5800 is part of the annual release of the Rockwell Automation toolkit. It can also be found on the Rockwell Automation website...
