1. The chassis monitor is the interface to the SoftLogix controller. We use the monitor to:. Add and configure controllers. Add and configure communication cards. Add and configure motion cards. Change processor mode. Monitor controller and associated module status. Monitor motion performance.
2. Start the RSLogix 5000 software and create a new project. Under the New Controller window type select an Emulator – RSLogix Emulator 5000 Controller. Give it a name and assign it to the same slot as the one you put in the Chassis Monitor which in our example is slot 2. In RSLogix 5000's Controller Organizer, right click on the I/O.
3. Problems with installing SoftLogix 5800 Hi, new to PLC's and this subreddit. I recently tried to install SoftLogix 5800 to use with RS Logix5000/RSLinx and I cannot seem to open the actual chassis monitor.
4. . SoftLogix controller in the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor. RSLogix 5000 software SoftLogix 5800 controllers and software do not support Integrated Motion on IMPORTANT the EtherNet/IP network. Windows Vista, Windows 2008, and Windows 7 Server operating system software do not support any motion modules in a SoftLogix system.

Step 2: Create the Communication Card. In the Softlogix Chassis Monitor. Step 3: Configure the Communication Card. As Part of the Project. Step 4: Configure the Softlogix Ethernet/Ip Module to Communicate On an Ethernet Network.

I have an annoying problem. I'm trying to emulate a plc to test an RSView HMI. I had RSLogix Emulate and heard SoftLogix should be better, so i installed SoftLogix. When installing i had to uninstall Emulate because they are incompatible. Now, i can't start SoftLogix because it says: 'Could not determine which modules are present in the chassis.

From the SoftLogix chassis monitor. The chassis monitor shows the 1789-SIM module as a virtual module in the SoftLogix chassis. Anyone use Rockwell's Softlogix? You have to build the rack in the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor and then build the rack in RSLogix to match. SoftLogix Chassis modules must be removed'. How am i going to get out of this? Which can create/monitor/debug/online edit etc. Applications for ControlLogix.

Office 2013 Cracker here. Aborting the application' And, also i can't uninstall SoftLogix (to go back to Emulate) because: '*FAILED* 1. SoftLogix Chassis modules must be removed'.

How am i going to get out of this? Ron Beaufort May 13th, 2007 05:48 PM. Greetings Culan. And welcome to the forum.

Sorry but I can’t personally help you with your “installation” problem - because I’ve never worked with either RSLogix Emulate or SoftLogix. But here’s a thought.

Why do you need either one of those packages to “test an RSView HMI” application? I’ve always had EXCELLENT results from using the following technique.

Suppose that you’re animating a display of a tank to show the liquid level rising and falling based on a numerical value in the PLC. Suppose that the tag is named TANK_LEVEL. Instead of setting this up as a “Device” type tag, just set it up (temporarily) as a “Memory” type tag.

Now while you’re working on your graphics, etc. Just put a small (temporary) “Numeric Input” object on your window - and tie that to the TANK_LEVEL tag. Now you can manually enter any value that you desire into the tag - and check out the operation of your screen animation. You can get fancier of course by using a temporary horizontal or vertical “slider” to more easily change the value. Fancier yet: try using the same types techniques used in the RSView “Samples” application. Specifically, check out how the value of the tag “Automotive Motion” is automatically incremented in the “Derived Tags” section under “Logic and Control”. Basic idea: whatever software you’re trying to use to “emulate” the PLC is probably going to take at least as much trouble (if not MORE) to properly simulate a series of variables as the techniques I’m recommending.

Rockwell Softlogix

Of course after the initial design work is done, you’ll still have to reassign your tags from “Memory” to “Device” before you put the system into operation in the field - but as long as you work systematically and carefully, that shouldn’t be too hard to do. In SOME cases you can actually go ahead and assign your tags directly as “Device” type and use the same techniques I’ve mentioned to manually adjust the values during the development phase of your project. Try experimenting with a few tags to get started.

Secret handshake: USUALLY you can go to the “Node” setup screen and temporarily turn off the “Enabled” checkbox. Then you can USUALLY manually adjust the tag values yourself.
