Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000™ Engineering and Design Environment combines engineering
and design elements into a common environment. The first element in the
Studio 5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix™ 5000 software and continues to be the
product to program Logix5000™ controllers for discrete, process, batch, motion,
safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place for
design engineers to develop all the elements of their control system.
