RSLogix 500 software is a Windows ladder logic programming software for SLC 500 and MicroLogix PLC. it is compatible with SLC 500 and MicroLogix programs created with any of Rockwell Software’s programming packages. RSLogix 500 has a Professional, Standard and Starter version. RSLogix 500 software includes:

• a free-form ladder editor that lets you concentrate on the application logic instead of syntax as you write your program
• a powerful project verifier that you use to build a list of errors you can navigate to make corrections at your convenience
• drag-and-drop editing to quickly move data table elements from one data file to another, rungs from one subroutine or project to another, or instructions from rung to rung within a project
• an address wizard that makes entering addresses easier and reduces keying errors.
• a custom data monitor to view separate data elements together and observe interactions
• trending and histogram functionality for monitoring and displaying process data
• SLC libraries for storing and retrieving portions of ladder logic for use across any of Rockwell Software's SLC programming software products.

Create a Project

• open rslogix 500 as administrator and Select File > New.

• Select the type of processor that is being used in your system hardware configuration. Use the scroll bar to the right of the list box to scroll down through the list and then click a processor type and Click OK.here i am selected "MicroLogix 1500 LRP Series C"

An empty project is created with a default filename, and a tree directory of your project (project tree) is shown in a separate window. The default project name typically displays Untitled. You rename the project when you save the project. To the right of the project tree you see an empty ladder file. This is the main program file (LAD 2).

Enter/Edit Logic Program

• Add a Rung:
  Click the new rung icon on the instrunction toolbar ( user )or click the right mouse button and select Insert Rung from the menu that appears. .Rungs under edit have the lower-case letter e in the margin to the left of the left rail. This means that these rungs have not yet been verified and compiled. After a successful verify procedure in which no errors have been detected the e will no longer be present.
• Place Instructions:
  Click the rung, "properly selected rung number is highlighted in red."To place an instruction on a rung, Click the new rung icon on the instrunction toolbar and select tab like user, bit, timer/counter etc. here i am insert XIC [Examine if Closed] -||- and a output coil -()-.
  "you can also insert instrunction from Floating Instruction Palette(View > Instruction Palette)".
  Continue to add new rungs by clicking the insert rung icon or by clicking the right mouse button and then clicking Append Rung to place a new rung after the selected rung, or Insert Rung to place a new rung before the selected rung.


• Place additional instructions on a rung by clicking the instructions on the instruction toolbars.Another method you can use to place an instruction on a rung, especially if you cannot immediately find it on the instruction bars, is to click the right mouse button and then click Append or Insert. This brings up an Instruction Selection window from which you can click an instruction from an all inclusive list. Note: Do not exceed 128 instructions on any rung.

Enter Addresses
You can use several methods to add addresses to logic instructions. Three of these methods are included here.

• Manually:
  Click the instruction in your ladder logic program that you want to address.Start typing the address. for example type O (output), I(input), T (timer), C(counter), N, A, ST, or M etc.Press [Tab] to go to the next instruction in the program; type an address for that instruction.
• Dragging from Data Files: Double-click the Data File in the project tree that contains the address you want to assign to an instruction.Click in the Data File dialog box on the address you want to assign.Drag the address to a valid location in the ladder program. As you drag the address, the cursor reflects the address you selected. Valid locations are designated by red boxes on the logic display. When a proper location has been selected the box changes to green.Release the mouse button to enter the address.
• Assign Address to Symbol You can enter a symbol directly and later assign an address to the symbol using the database symbol/description editor.

Verify Program Logic:
To verify program logic: Select Edit > Verify File menu item. (If you want to verify all files in the project at once, select Verify Project.) after sucessfully varified without any error save your project.

RS LINX classic gateway configuration

• start rs linx classic gateway as administrator
• Select Communications > Configure Drivers to display the Configure Drivers dialog box that is used for adding, editing or deleting drivers. The available hardware drivers are shown in the Available Drivers list. The presently configured drivers are displayed in the Configured Drivers list. Drivers In the Configure Drivers dialog box, the Available Driver Types list displays all supported devices for the manufacturer.for simulation of rslogix 500 select "SLC 500 (DH485) Emulator" for simulation of program. "if Emulator driver not shown in driver list it means rs logix emulate not installed in your system,or not properly configure in registry editor."
• Enter a name for the selected driver (15 character maximum), and then click OK. The configuration dialog box for that driver appears.

• Enter the appropriate parameters for the desired driver in the configuration dialog box.

• Click OK to close the configuration dialog box. The new driver now appears in the Configured Drivers list.

RSLogix Emulate:

• open RSLogix Emulate
• file>open(open your recentely saved program file)
• enter station number 0 to 99 digit

start simulation

• back to rslogix 500 and comms>system coms
• select your station and press ok
• download your project and go online
• toggle input or force symbol to start simulation
