RSLogix 5000 – Understanding ControlLogix Basics guides the reader in building the skills necessary to effectively program and troubleshoot a ControlLogix project, using RSLogix 5000 development software.

Step-by-step discussion and illustrations build upon many key concepts that are essential to know before launching into a programming project. Many of these PAC concepts are quite different from traditional PLC programming and project development.
A few of the topics covered in this RSLogix 5000 study guide include:
•The overall project structure and components of any project.
•Doing a Firmware revision.
•Using ControlFlash
•The ControlLogix Architecture and how different modules function.
•Tag creation and I/O Addressing
•Tag types including “produced”, “consumed” and “user-defined” tags and how they are used.
•I/O Buffering
•Sequencing of programs and routines within the project.
•Building and using Fault Routines.
•Building and using Arrays

Many illustrations, with actual Ladder programming, are included to highlight and present concrete examples of various concepts.
