Preface
Before Using This Publication
Before using this quick start, you need to install and configure the Logix5000 controller, install the Studio 5000
Logix Designer application, configure the controller network, and create a project file for your application.
For more information on how to complete these tasks with specific Logix5000 controllers, see the Integrated
Architecture: Logix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference, publicat
.
IMPORTANT
The example graphics shown are for CompactLogix
™
5370 L3 controllers. Depending on the Logix5000 controller you are using, the
specific steps to complete the tasks described in the table may be different.
Tasks to Complete before Using This Quick Start
Task
Description
Prepare the Logix5000 control
system hardware
Assemble the control system and connect to the required communication networks. Some components, for example, the Logix5000 controller and
system power supply, are required. Other components, for example, a network communication module, are optional. These graphics illustrate the
assembly of one example Logix5000 controller on a paint-free grounded panel.
IMPORTANT: This task does not include installation of other hardware components, for example, the Kinetix 5500 drives used over the networks
included in your application.
Prepare the computer
Install the required software on your computer. 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.
