To initiate a program on RSLogix 5000 just follow the instructions below

First: Opening the program RSLogix 5000

following this path: Start/All Programs/Rockwell Software/RSLogix 5000 Enterprise Series/RSLogix 5000

You´ll see

Second: Creating a New Project

Just click on the option File in the menu and then click on New, or just click on the icon as is show in the images below

Third: Setting up the Project

After we clicked on new, a window appear similar to the image that we have below

Now we´re going to select the processor unit type that we have, Revision, name of the project, description (Optional), Chassis Type and Slot

in this case we´re going to use the Emulator, so Select the option that is show in the image.

Then select the revision firmware, in this case select 18.

Next write a name, in this case i wrote "Project1" and add a description if you want. You can write the name that you want.

The next step is important when you are configuring a real processor because you have a real chassis and is important to choose the indicated, but in this case we are using a Emulator, so isn´t too important and you can choose the chassis type that you want, for example 10-Slot.

And the last configuration that we need is the slot where the Emulator is going to run.

after that, we just have to click on Ok button and start to program.

The ControlLogix System

The ControlLogix system is chassis-based and provides the option to configure a

control system that uses sequential, process, motion, and drive control in addition

to communication and I/O capabilities.

Configuration Options

There are many system configuration options that are available with ControlLogix controllers.

Standalone Controller and I/O

One of the simplest ControlLogix configurations is a standalone controller with

I/O assembled in one chassis.

Multiple Controllers in One Chassis

For some applications, multiple controllers may be used in one ControlLogix

chassis. For example, for better performance, multiple controllers can be used in

motion applications.

Multiple Devices Connected via Multiple Networks

For some applications, a variety of devices may be connected to the ControlLogix

chassis via multiple communication networks. For example, a system might be

connected to the following:

• Distributed I/O via an Ethernet network

• A PowerFlex drive connected via a DeviceNet network

• Flowmeters connected via HART connection
