Preface
Studio 5000 Engineering and
Design Environment and
Logix Designer Application 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 will continue 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.
In This Manual This manual explains the series of specifications developed by the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for programmable controllers and how to
use them with your Logix5000 controller and programming software.
This manual is one of a set of related manuals that show common procedures for
programming and operating Logix5000 controllers. For a complete list of
common procedures manuals, see the
Logix 5000 Controllers Common Procedures
Programming Manual, publication 1756-PM001.
