Take control with Logix.
No matter who you are, each day you face new challenges.
Machine builders need to deliver their competitive advantage.
Speed up development and reduce costs and time to market. Improve
customer support with lower costs. Manufacturers need to drive
higher returns on assets. Improve agility and availability. Connect to
e-business. Reduce spare parts inventories. Spend less time on
training and lower maintenance costs. All while trying to satisfy top
floor demands. Like reducing time to market. Producing product
with zero defects. Or creating more flexible production lines.

11:37 AM Page 2
A versatile control architecture like Logix should be
supported by an equally versatile communication
architecture. It is. We call it NetLinx and it provides
common protocol, services and features to the
EtherNet/IP, ControlNet and DeviceNet networks. As a
result, information can be communicated seamlessly
throughout the plant, from shop floor to top floor, and
to and from the Internet for e-business applications.
The NetLinx Open Network Architecture, created
specifically for industrial automation, provides the
ability to control, configure and collect data across a
plant, thereby simplifying your plant communications.
Both time-critical communications, such as I/O and
interlocking, and messages are supported without
impacting performance of the network. Since
EtherNet/IP, ControlNet and DeviceNet use the same
protocol and architecture, all devices can communi-
cate on a network or even across networks without
translation or special programming.
The NetLinx Open Network Architecture enables you
to choose the type of network, media and topology
the application requires, and mix and match
NetLinx-based networks without adding complexity
or sacrificing performance. You can control and
configure devices and collect data anytime or any
place in the system. The result is a single system
designed specifically for your needs.

Information Where and When It’s Needed
Working with NetLinx, FactoryTalk™ provides a
collaborative framework that allows everyone in
supply chain to share and use real-time information,
and communicate effectively.
FactoryTalk supports common services built into
FactoryTalk-enabled software products from Rockwell
Software and third-party vendors. FactoryTalk-enabled
products use FactoryTalk Directory to share a common
address book, which automatically finds and provides
access to factory resources such as data tags and
HMI displays. Unlike a single database, FactoryTalk
Directory provides searchable references to resources
stored anywhere across a distributed system, offering
the benefits of central data storage without the risk of
a single point of failure.
Using this enabling technology, companies can build
complex distributed systems in any location and
later deploy the systems elsewhere by simply
modifying computer names. Resources associated
with the system are then available to every
participating FactoryTalk-enabled product across
the entire automation system, and any changes
update immediately.

Reduce Application Development Time
and Maximize Reuse of Programming Code
RSLogix 5000 software is tag-based, and is highly
independent of the system hardware.
Symbolic, application-specific names like ‘fill_temper-
ature’ make it easy for you to learn new applications.
Since these names are stored within the controller,
data is accessible by tag name for faster trouble-
shooting, even at remote facilities where source
code may not be available.
FactoryTalk services in RSLogix 5000 allow tag names
to be browsed and used directly by other FactoryTalk-
enabled products such as RSView.
By adding application-specific instructions, for
example in motion control, programming time is
greatly reduced. Often a single instruction replaces
several lines of code.
With RSLogix 5000, you’ll create reusable program
modules. Each time you reuse the program module
you simply associate it with its companion I/O and
system data. We call this feature ‘tag aliases’.
Applications you create with RSLogix 5000 use
IEC 61131-3-compliant symbolic data addressing.
This, along with the ability to create user-defined
structures and multiple data scopes, gives you the
ability to tightly couple the Logix controller’s memory
layout to the application. The result? Self-document-
ed code providing an intuitive environment with
improved readability and reduced application
development and support costs.
RSLogix 5000 provides symbolic
data definitions that simplifies
data management and provides
self-documenting code.
RSLogix 5000 supports user
defined data-types (structures)
that help you organize the data
based on the application.
Page 5
Use a Programming Environment
That’s More Intuitive
By representing the controller environment in an
easily understood tree configuration, applications can
be reduced to small, easily understood parts while
maintaining overall program organization. In a world
of ever-changing software, RSLogix 5000 tools offer
a stable programming environment. RSLogix 5000
complies with IEC-61131-3 programming standards.
A Microsoft Windows NT/2000 environment provides
drag and drop, and cut and paste capabilities. And
RSLogix 5000 retains features common to RSLogix 5
and RSLogix 500 used with PLC and SLC controllers.
With RSLogix 5000, you’ll create libraries of standard
routines you can reuse on future applications.
Open Access to Project
Configuration and Data
RSLogix 5000 provides open access to controller
configuration, project code, tag definitions and data
values. Export project files to a formatted ASCII file,
tag definitions to Comma Separated Value (CSV)
files, and use the clipboard to extract and input code
directly into the logic editor. This enables you to
integrate project development with other tools within
your organization, giving you full access to project
contents and allowing you to automatically generate
code. Reduce development time and effort as well as
the potential for costly entry errors, leading to shorter
development cycles and quicker startup.
More efficient diagnostic monitoring is
made possible with this RSLogix 5000
trending tool that monitors values as
they change on a Logix controller.

Programming Languages
RSLogix 5000 includes support for relay ladder, func-
tion block diagram, structured text, and sequential
function chart programming languages. Each language
editor is fully integrated into the software. One
controller project can have multiple routines of each
language type.
RSLogix 5000 stores the program logic for all four
programming languages, as well as tag names, on the
controller. This greatly simplifies field maintenance
since RSLogix 5000 allows you to upload and view
logic without having the original source program.
In addition to standard instructions, RSLogix 5000
also includes:
• industry-specific instructions for process, drive,
and motion applications
manipulate, store, and send string data
• message instructions to simplify sending and
receiving data across many different devices
• sequential function chart components to structure
your application
RSLogix 5000 includes ActiveX® faceplates for the
function block instructions that commonly require
operator interface displays. Drop these faceplates
into any ActiveX container, such as RSView™, to
graphically monitor your program. An optional, built-in
autotune utility lets you autotune the PIDE instruction
from its ActiveX faceplate, from its property dialog
screen, or from a custom screen in your operator
interface application.

RSLogix 5000 includes language editors

for relay ladder logic, function block
diagram, structured text, and sequential
function chart logic. Each language editor
is fully integrated into the software.

The ActiveX displays streamline

development and maintenance
by providing a direct link to control
loops from user interface displays.

A Logix Solution That Fits
Allen-Bradley Logix platforms provide a single control
architecture for a wide range of applications. Using
a Logix solution, you can:
• work in a more intuitive tag-based programming
environment that enables you to design your
control system around your machine and in doing
so save as much as 40% programming time in
development of integrated motion applications
• reduce engineering time by doing electrical design
and programming in parallel. Separate physical I/O
addresses from program tag names so that you
can write programs without knowing the physical
I/O addresses.
• significantly reduce the time to develop visualiza-
tion programs. Directly reuse the tags from your
control program for your operator interface.

software package that integrate control, drive, and
motor through a SERCOS™ interface™. The result is:
• faster application development
• simpler installation
• higher speeds
• greater productivity
• easier maintenance
• lower system costs
Rather than looking at your sequential and motion
control needs as two separate and distinct problems
to solve, look for an answer that will fulfill both needs
in one integrated solution. Whether you’re the OEM
building the machine or the end user looking for
greater productivity, the benefits are unprecedented!
For the OEM, development time is greatly reduced,
installation is faster and easier, and maintenance is
simplified. As an end user, you will benefit from easy
configuration and startup, higher system performance,
and previously unreachable productivity.
Where other control systems require multiple
controllers and programming packages, the Logix
approach is fully integrated, with multiple functions
performed by a single controller and programming
software. Motion control functions are embedded as
part of the RSLogix 5000 programming software and
are executed in the ControlLogix/SoftLogix controller.
ControlLogix and SoftLogix provide advanced motion
control capabilities to meet your application and per-
formance expectations. From core motion operations
including home, move, jog, and gear to advanced
technologies and algorithms including linear motors
capabilities, position locked cam and multi-axis
interpolated motion, ControlLogix and SoftLogix offer
the integration you need and the flexibility your
application demands.
Seamless Integrated Motion

manufacturing.
Logix is unique because both of its process solutions,
ControlLogix, which offers built-in process control
capabilities, and ProcessLogix, which offers a DCS
solution, use the same chassis, communication and
I/O modules. Both approaches work with RSView SE
for Process to provide an integrated HMI environment.
In fact, the two systems work side-by-side, providing
a degree of control and openness from a single
system never before achieved. Used separately
or together, you enjoy the flexibility and ease of
integration of the Logix system.
Use One Programming Software Package
for Process and Discrete Applications
RSLogix 5000 provides an extensive library of
process functions that simplify writing closed-loop
applications. Whether you need to support cascaded
PID loops, flow totalization, two- and three-state
device control, or motor operated valves, we have
built-in functions to directly support these and other
application needs. All of these functions are standard
firmware instructions in the Logix controller system
and are available with multiple Logix platforms,
so you won’t need to buy a special controller and
you can use the same logic and software with
ControlLogix for large applications with thousands
of I/O points or with FlexLogix or CompactLogix for
small applications with dozens of I/O points.
Logix-based process control is further simplified
by using the pre-configured operator faceplates in
RSLogix 5000. You can drop these faceplates into
any ActiveX container such as RSView visualization
software, often eliminating the need to create custom
operator screens.
Optional ControlLogix hardware redundancy modules
support fully-redundant controller architectures with
no additional programming required. Programs are
automatically cross-loaded from the primary to the
secondary controller. In addition, while scanning your
program, the primary controller automatically updates
the secondary with any data changes needed to keep
it synchronized. Then, if the primary controller fails,
control is automatically switched to the secondary
system. Highest priority functions are guaranteed
a ‘bumpless transfer’ during control switchover,
extremely important for process control applications.

The function library in RSLogix 5000

A Function Block Diagramming editor and the includes a set of drives control instructions
process control instructions provide tools to easily
set up sophisticated process control strategies.
Faceplates further reduce the time normally spent
developing customer operator control screens.

Optional redundant power supplies help to assure
distributed I/O chassis keep running in the event of
primary power supply failure. And with specialty I/O
modules such as the Configurable Flow Meter Module
and the High Speed Analog Module, you’ll be able to
use ControlLogix across a wider range of applications.
DCS Solution with Integrated HMI
and Control Development
ProcessLogix is a modular, supervisory control and
networking system that integrates the server-based
common database that is typical of DCS systems and
required for many process operations. The server is
the system data repository. The common database
structure provides an efficient, single-source access
point for system information. To maintain system
performance, a dynamically scheduled cache in the
server gathers all data requests, providing optimal
data access performance and memory utilization
while minimizing the data access load on the
controller.
With an integrated database, information is entered
once, not repeated in several databases. The server
features a true client/server architecture where a
real-time database on the server provides data to
a number of client applications including operator
stations, third-party applications (such as Microsoft
Excel™ and Access™), and Web pages.
The server supports configuration of Fieldbus inter-
face modules, H1 links, and Fieldbus devices and
functions. Fieldbus Library Manager, an offline
utility, allows you to integrate FOUNDATION Fieldbus-
registered products into the ProcessLogix database.
This is key to interoperability and allows you to create
Fieldbus device templates based on manufacturer-
supplied device description and capability files.
Complete system redundancy is available using
the ProcessLogix system. ProcessLogix redundancy
enables a pair of ProcessLogix servers to support
each other in a primary/backup fashion. Should the
primary fail, a fully functioning backup assumes the
primary role in a completely transparent fashion with
negligible switchover time. The primary propagates all
database transactions to the backup over a redundant
network so that both databases remain completely
synchronized. The backup module can be replaced
on line with disrupting control of your process.

ControlLogix sets a new standard for the PLC to
provide the high performance your application
requires in an easy-to-use environment. The
ControlLogix controller, with memory options ranging
up to 8Mbyte supports intensive process applications,
and provides fast processing of motion instructions.
The memory options allow you to specify the appropri-
ate controller for your application. A CompactFlash
card provides a portable non-volatile storage program.
The high performance of the ControlLogix platform
is due in part to the ControlLogix backplane which
operates as a very fast NetLinx network. ControlLogix
processors, I/O, and communications modules have
the intelligence to act like independent nodes on
that network. As a result, multiple processors,
communication modules, and I/O can be mixed
without restrictions. No processor is needed to
perform bridging and routing of I/O, and as your
system grows, the network permits distributing
control to additional chassis.

Reliability by Design
Today’s manufacturers are faced with meeting new
and emerging safety standards and regulations com-
bined with competitive pressure to reduce costs and
increase productivity. These manufacturers require
safe, reliable systems to safeguard people, property,
the environment, and reputations. Safety Integrity
Level (SIL) 2 certification by TÜV makes it simpler,
easier, and less expensive for these manufacturers
to meet growing standards compliance requirements
worldwide.
Unlike other manufacturers, Rockwell Automation
did not need to create a special line of products to
meet stringent SIL 2 requirements for its ControlLogix
family. Sophisticated diagnostics and high levels
of reliability are standard design in ControlLogix
processors, I/O modules, and communication
products. It’s that same, standard design that
readily provides the reliability needed to achieve
SIL 2 certification while providing you with
exceptional savings (e.g., no additional training,
readily available spares, high Mean Time Between
Failures and processor Safe Failure Fractions).

All The Information You Need
With SoftLogix all the information you need for
analysis, display, programming and control can
be placed on an industrial or desktop computer.
SoftLogix5800 combines a high performance Logix
control engine with the power and openness of your
PC. The result? A reliable open, PC-based control
solution that provides improved flexibility,
connectivity and information integration.
With SoftLogix5800, you can truly link the production
area shop floor with the front office top floor.
Control, motion, Human Machine Interface (HMI),
and information processing now come together in
an integrated solution for lower total cost of system
integration and increased productivity.
SoftLogix for PC-Based Control
A typical SoftLogix system starts with a virtual
chassis application running on a Pentium based
computer. The virtual chassis houses the processors
and communication cards that interface to other Logix
processors as well as I/O. Application debugging and
system start up is made easier through the use of I/O
simulator modules (1789-SIM) provided with SoftLogix
for use in the virtual chassis.
Imagine a warehouse with a conveyor loop connecting
incoming materials and outgoing shipments. Data
read by a bar code reader must be compared with
the MES database information, to determine the state
of a diverter switch on the conveyor for sorting
materials. I/O is scattered across wide distances.
Execution time and network response time is critical.
The solution? SoftLogix, combined with RSView on an
industrial (such as the VersaView family) or personal
computer. SoftLogix5800 provides the widest choice
of commercially available I/O, easily bridges the gap
between control and information worlds, while deliv-
ering a world class application solution. SoftLogix is
a great option for ‘data-crunching’ applications that
also require the making of control decisions.
Maximum Choice, Maximum Flexibility
SoftLogix allows for integration of third party
networks or specialty modules through the use
of the Virtual Backplane Toolkit available through
the Rockwell Automation Technologies program.
Using the virtual backplane toolkit, you can integrate
PCI bus products to the virtual backplane and gain
high-speed data access to the SoftLogix engine. Once
integrated, they communicate across the backplane
in real time to any other product using the same
producer/consumer data exchange as SoftLogix.

computer. The virtual chassis
“houses” the processors and
communication cards that
interface to other Logix
processors as well as I/O.

Configure interface cards such as

those for ControlNet, DeviceNet,

Integrate Motion Control From Your PC
SoftLogix5800 provides an easily-integrated, high-
performance motion system with higher levels of
performance than traditional PC based motion con-
trollers. It executes motion commands and generates
motion profiles directly on the native PC processor.
This SoftMotion approach permits you to apply the
speed and power of today's PCs to solve the most
demanding applications.
A Single Window For Control
The SoftLogix chassis monitor provides a window
to all SoftLogix functions, including configuring,
controlling, and collecting data via optional
ControlNet, DeviceNet, or motion control interface
cards. The chassis monitor also permits processor
mode to be changed and allows you to view
system status.
Begin by adding a new device profile for devices
such as network cards or I/O modules.

FLEX I/O ELIMINATES SPACE, WIRING, AND BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS

FLEX I/O combines a terminal strip with an I/O
interface to eliminate terminal blocks and reduce
wiring. Today, FlexLogix supports more than 30
1794 FLEX modules and six 1797 FLEX Ex modules.
FLEX I/O modules are placed directly onto a terminal
base near the device being controlled, reducing the
length of wiring between device and I/O. The compact
size of FLEX I/O enables the use of panels that are
smaller in size and are closer to the device. FLEX I/O
can be attached directly to the FlexLogix controller
or to the FLEX local adapter. FlexLogix can be located
near the device being controlled and thus reducing
the length of wiring between device and I/O.
FLEX Ex can be connected to the primary rail of the
FlexLogix controller via the FLEX Ex bus isolator.
Or, FlexLogix can be connected via ControlNet to
FLEX Ex which mounts directly into the hazardous
area, eliminating the need for separate Intrinsic
Safety (IS) barriers/isolators, long wiring runs in
hardened conduit or bulky explosion proof enclosures.
The I/O options provided by the FLEX family of I/O

PROCESSLOGIX: FULL DCS CAPABILITY INTEGRATED IN THE LOGIX SYSTEM
ProcessLogix at-a-glance:
• Scalable, DCS for batch and
process applications
• Tightly integrates HMI and control
functions with a server-based

• Shares common hardware, network
communications, and I/O with
ControlLogix
• Is a fundamental part of Rockwell
Automation's Integrated Architecture
• Provides connectivity to PanelView

ProcessLogix is a scalable, open control system for
batch and process applications. ProcessLogix provides
traditional DCS functionality by tightly integrating
Human Machine Interface (HMI) with control
functions to provide a server-based common system
database. The ProcessLogix solution can be easily
integrated with other Logix platforms. It shares a
common chassis with the ControlLogix platform and
uses NetLinx to communicate over EtherNet/IP and
ControlNet to other Logix platforms, plus DeviceNet
and Foundation Fieldbus for device and instrumenta-
tion connectivity. Using ProcessLogix with other Logix
controllers provides a complete plantwide solution to
control material handling, processing and packaging
applications in a single, integrated architecture.
Increased Reuse of Control
System Components
Logix breaks down the barriers between DCS and PLC
by providing the first plantwide control system with
DCS and PLC control truly integrated. For process

applications, ProcessLogix offers DCS process control
including an HMI that is tightly integrated with
control and a server-based database. ProcessLogix
and ControlLogix can be combined into a hybrid
control system, with ProcessLogix focused on process
control and ControlLogix providing loop control and
high-speed discrete and motion control and for
ancillary operations. Because both ProcessLogix and
ControlLogix use the same chassis, communication
modules and I/O modules, the total number of
components is greatly reduced. Sharing the same
I/O data, both platforms can simultaneously reflect
events on the plant floor.
DCS Functionality With a PLC Price
ProcessLogix blends a powerful, open Microsoft
Windows 2000-based client/server system, controller,
I/O, system engineering tools and networking
capabilities into a suite of features and services

Modular simplicity
A ProcessLogix system is a combination of server,
operator station, engineering and maintenance tools
operating as a single, optimized system. And since
ProcessLogix uses the same chassis, I/O, power
supply, communication modules and networks as
ControlLogix, you can easily mix and match
components to fit your application.

Redundancy where you need it

ProcessLogix can easily be expanded to include
redundancy when required, reducing the risk of a
process shutdown due to a single component failure.

Additional ProcessLogix features include:

• integrated detail displays, custom graphics,
alarms, history and reports
• integrated deterministic networking
• automatic peer-to-peer messaging
between controllers
• standard and user-definable application templates
Object-based graphics provide a powerful interface
• hierarchical control development environment for the ProcessLogix user:
• easy, high speed connectivity to other • Group displays are a direct result of application

WE HELP YOU WITH THE MOVE FORWARD

If you’re currently using Allen-Bradley PLC-3, PLC-5
and SLC 500 or Reliance Electric AutoMax controllers,
you will find that Logix offers a number of features
that makes the move forward easy:
• a translation tool in RSLogix 5000 allows you
to reuse your investment in PLC-5 or SLC 500
programs.
• Arrays may be used to create virtual data tables
like those found in PLC and SLC controllers,
so those controllers can communicate to a
Logix controller.
• the common look and feel of RSLogix 5,
RSLogix500, RSLogix 5000 products provides
you with a consistent interface to Allen-Bradley
programmable controllers, resulting in reduced
time, effort and expense of re-training.
• full messaging support built into the Logix
controller allows you to integrate the new
technology into your existing control system.
Logix platforms are the foundation for an Integrated
Architecture. Logix delivers:
• superior reliability
• product breadth
• industry/application driven design
• OPEN technology
• backward compatibility and forward migration
• the best value
Logix platforms are focused on lowering total cost
of ownership and improving your manufacturing
flexibility through:
• scalable control architecture
• common programming tools
• common networking services
• common view into the system

Integrating a Logix platform with

existing systems is made easier with
such features as data table mapping.
This allows existing systems to
communicate to a Logix controller
as if it were another PLC or
SLC controller.

30
LOGIX_BR001D_EN_P_final.qxd 6/26/03 11:38 AM Page 31

Many Logix systems will consist of multiple

subnetworks such as ControlLogix systems
on ControlNet, PLC-5 or SLC systems on
Data Highway Plus, and sensors on DeviceNet,
as well as connections to EtherNet/IP.
