If you
understand how to program a ControlLogix PLC,
you can:
• create programs and edit existing programs
using RSLogix 5000.
• make yourself worth more to your company.
• communicate your ideas better to your
co-workers or your
clients.
If you to want to take the quick path
to learning RSLogix 5000, this training manual
is for you.
And, you can begin
right
now.
This tutorial explains everything you need
to know to get a solid understanding of the
software used to program ControlLogix and
CompactLogix PLCs and provides the most
cost-effective RSLogix 5000 training available
today.
This ebook is more than an introduction to
RSLogix 5000. It contains real world examples,
tips and routines you can start using
immediately.
To the beginner in RSLogix 5000, it is more
valuable than the thick and complex books
written by college professors. They cover
functions and algorithms you may never use.
After wading through one of these, you still
might not know how to turn on a motor with
RSLogix 5000.
"PLC Programming with RSLogix 5000" makes
learning RSLogix easy. And, like all of our
publications, it is written in plain
English.
If you
are:
- a software engineer who needs to quickly
learn RSLogix 5000
- a student of engineering
- an engineer in a non-electrical field
- a technician and maintenance person who works
with Allen-Bradley equipment
"PLC Programming with RSLogix 5000"
will get you up to speed - fast.
"PLC
Programming with RSLogix 5000"
will
• show you
how to program a ControlLogix (1756) system or
a CompactLogix (1769) system. These PLCs are
the most common choices for controlling new
installations
• teach
you, step by step, how to make changes to the
ladder logic online
• show you
how to get a demo version of RSLogix
• save you
a bunch of money (other PLC courses cost
hundreds of dollars)
• save
time (this ebook can be read and understood in
a few evenings)
• show you
how to be comfortable programming a PLC with
RSLogix 5000
• teach
you how Ladder Logic works in an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller
• allow
you to communicate intelligently with others
regarding Allen-Bradley PLCs
We don't just tell you what you need to do
in RSLogix 5000 - we show you a picture.
This book has dozens of screen shots
explaining how to:
- understand Allen-Bradley's unique method
of assigning addresses and tag names
- use the basic commands in the instruction
set
- insert, edit and modify rungs
- connect to the PLC, download the program and
modify the program online.
and much more.

The
Project
The best way to learn
a new language or piece of software is by
looking at a real world
example.
"PLC Programming with RSLogix
5000" uses a batching project to show you how
to program. This is a functioning program - the
real thing; not just a simulation.
There is a Project Scope included in
the book. If you are a consultant or a
programmer already, you are familiar with this
type of document. It outlines in detail how the
completed system must work. It would be your
job to write the program and make sure that the
system performs indicated in the project
scope.
The book takes you through each step of writing
the program to meet the specification. you will
learn how to interpret words into ladder logic
in RSLogix 5000. Here is a diagram and a brief
description of the Project Scope that is used
in the book.

Project
Overview
Three ingredients (city
water, ingredient QR and
ingredient KM) are added in
specified amounts by weight to
the Mixing Tank. After all the
ingredients have been added to
the Mixing Tank, the mixture is
blended by running the agitator
for a given time. When the
blending time is complete, the
finished product is pumped to
the Filling Lines for bottling
and final packaging.
Detailed
Sequence of
Operations
To begin a new batch, the
operator will verify that the
“SYSTEM READY” pilot light is
on and that the Mixing Tank is
ready to receive
ingredients.
The operator will then press
the “START BATCH” pushbutton to
begin the batching process. No
further operator input is
required.
The “SYSTEM READY” pilot light
will turn off.
Automatic valve AV-CW will
open. The “ADDING WATER” pilot
light will illuminate.
The state of AV-CW will be
verified by limit switch
LS-CW2. If LS-CW2 is not made
within 2 seconds after the
valve was told to open, a fault
will be generated and the
system will shut down. The
pilot light “SYSTEM FAULT” PL2
will illuminate indicating that
a fault has occurred.

"PLC Programming with RSLogix
5000" shows the logical progression of the
project from the start.
You learn how to:
- understand the Project Scope
- lay out the I/O
- select the right hardware
- configure the PLC and your personal
computer
- program the logic to meet the specifications
in the scope
- program fault detection
- go online to verify the operation of the
program
- create the final documentation of the ladder
logic
Actual
screen shots are used from RSLogix 5000 to show
you exactly how to use the
software.
Excerpt - "PLC Programming
with RSLogix 5000"
Inserting a
Branch
We need to “wire the contact”
in parallel with the start
button. We do this with a
branch instruction. Drag the
Branch tool
button
and place it on the marker
between the System Enable bit
and the Start Batch
bit.

Not only will you get 161
pages of text and images showing you how to
program an ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLC
with RSLogix 5000, you will also
get:
• a complete I/O listing in Excel
format. You can use this format over and over
again on projects of your own
• the actual RSLogix 5000 Batching program that
is used in the book. This is the file that you
would download into an SLC
• a printout of the RSLogix program (with rung
cross references and rung comments in PDF
format)
This ebook, and the
concepts used herein, is the result
of many years of experience in PLC
programming, electrical design and
engineering.
It summarizes dozens of techniques that
are needed to write a solid RSLogix 5000
program.
It has easy to understand text with RSLogix
5000 routines that can be used again and
again.
The purpose of this book is to teach you how
to set up, program and use an Allen-Bradley
programmable controller. It will tell you what
parts you need to buy for a common
application.
It will tell you how to install RSLogix, how
to write a ladder logic program, how to
configure your computer and your PLC so that
you can download your ladder logic program.
There is a sample project included that
contains a Project Scope. The Project Scope (or
Functional Specification, or whatever your
company might call it) defines in detail how
the system is to operate when the project is
finished.
You will learn how to take a Project Scope
and turn it into a working PLC program.
It will show you, step by step, how to go
online with your PLC to monitor your program to
verify your ladder logic and make sure it is
functioning properly.
It will show you how to make changes to your
program while you are online.
It will show you the keystrokes and mouse
movements that you need to know to use RSLogix
5000.
Finally, it provides a number of tips and a
"How Do I . . ." section that will save you
hours of frustration.
