*Softlogix 5860Greetings 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 “AutomotiveMotion 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 ... 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 ... finally ... 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 ... then again, there’s the distinct possibility that I’ve misunderstood exactly WHY you’re trying to emulate the PLC in the first place ... if so, feel free to ignore all of this ... good luck with your project ...Softlogix 5860To invoke the RSLinx GUI, remove all SoftLogix controllers from the chassis monitor and use the RSLinx Control Panel to start RSLinx software as an application instead of a service. Before you can install the SoftLogix 5800 controller, you need to perform the following steps. Problems with installing SoftLogix 5800 Hi, new to PLCs 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. SoftLogix 5800 Chassis Monitor. In this exercise, we will configure a SoftLogix controller in the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor. SoftLogix 5800 is included in the annual release of the Rockwell Automation toolkit. It can also be found on the Rockwell website for approved customers and system integrators. The SoftLogix controllers need to be. Page 42- Connect A Softlogix Controller To The Controlnet Network Logix5000 controllers. Before you can connect the SoftLogix system to the ControlNet network, you must create the 1784-PCIC or 1784-PCICS card as part of the SoftLogix chassis. In the SoftLogix chassis monitor, create a New Module. In this chapter, we will introduce the Rockwell Automation SoftLogix 5800 controller and virtual chassis. We will step through the setup of SoftLogix Chassis Monitor and the configuration of our SoftLogix controller within Logix. Finally, we will investigate the techniques for simulating I/O.
