Ok, thatГўв‚¬в„ўs ready to go.Г‚ Close the Configure Drivers dialog box and close RSLinx.Г‚ Actually RSLinx is now running in the background and youГўв‚¬в„ўll probably see its little icon in the system tray. Your driver should now be running and look like the picture below. Leave the configuration options as Station Number 00 and click OK.

You can give the driver a name but I just leave it at the default of EMU500-1.Г‚.

Under the Available Drivers Types select the Гўв‚¬Е“SLC 500 (DH485) Emulator driverГўв‚¬Вќ and click the Add NewГўв‚¬В¦ button.Г‚.

Under the Communications menu select Configure Drivers.

LetГўв‚¬в„ўs start by running the RSLinx software under the START > All Programs > Rockwell Software > RSLinx > RSLinx Classic shortcut.Г‚ Follow these steps to set it up: RSLinx is the software RSLogix will use to communicate with your PLC or in our case to the emulator.

#RSLOGIX 500 EMULATE DOWNLOAD UPDATE#

Note for Windows XP users:Г‚ The bundled version of RSLinx only installs on Windows Pro and is not supported on Windows XP Home versions.Г‚ To get around this I downloaded an older version of RSLinx Lite 2.50 from the Allen Bradley software update page If you do not have a MicroLogix 1000 or 1100 to play with then download the RSLogix Emulate 500 software.Г‚ YouГўв‚¬в„ўll be able to use this to simulate a real PLC. The RSLogix Micro Starter Lite software is only available as a download at If you are starting from scratch and do not have the RSLinx software then download the kit bundled with RSLinx Classic Lite.Г‚ FYI, I find it a bit confusing but they also sell software called RSLogix Micro Starter which supports the full MicroLogix range.

One of my most common questions is, Гўв‚¬Е“Where can I get a free download of RSLogix 500?Гўв‚¬ВќГ‚ For any serious development with SLC500 or MicroLogix there is no free option but there is a nice free option if you only want to learn and/or program a MicroLogix 1000 or 1100.Г‚ Programming a MicroLogix is very very similar to programming a SLC500 or in that case a PLC5 too.Г‚ДЄllen Bradley offers as a free download a software package called RSLogix Micro Starter Lite which is essentially the same programming environment as RSLogix 500.Г‚ On top of that, they also offer RSLogix Emulate for free so that you donГўв‚¬в„ўt even need a PLC to run and test your ladder logic.Г‚ Keep reading and IГўв‚¬в„ўll show you how to get the software and set it up.
