Those who want to become proficient programming control systems using A-B Logix controllers often find themselves trying to simulate complex operations with lights and switches, since building application test systems can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

But with our Mastering Logix Applications course and a copy of PLCLogix 5000, students have everything they need to learn how to solve several fully simulated applications.

PLCLogix 5000 is a unique software tool that not only simulates the workings of RSLogix / Studio 5000 Standard Edition, but also includes a fully simulated ControlLogix Controller with several Digital and Analog IO modules, as well as an IO Simulator and Ten Fully Simulated Applications.

That means students of our Mastering Logix Applications with PLCLogix 5000 don't need to buy a copy of RSLogix/Studio 5000 (starting at $370/year for Mini,) an A-B controller (starting at $800 for a 1769-L1,) and various input, output and panel devices.

Instead, students can choose between buying our Mastering Logix Applications course and using the Free Trial Version of PLCLogix 5000 for a 15 day period, or pickup a Lifetime License of PLCLogix 5000 from The Automation School for just $299.99. And when you purchase a PLCLogix 5000 license from us you also get our Mastering Logix Applications course for it completely free!

Because we value your time, each application lesson also comes with a “Tag Start File” so if you wish to jump right into programming you'll be able to do so while still using the same tag definitions as our instructor.

NOTE: If you purchase the bundle with the course and software license, an activation instruction email will be sent to you within four working days of placing your order. To activate your license you need to install the 15 Day Trail software (link to download included with your receipt) on the PC you will be activating your license on. Also note that the 15 Day Trial has the same features as the Full License, but will only run for 15 days from the time of installation, unless activated.

NOTE: If purchasing more than a Single License (any quantity over 1) you must provide us with the names and email addresses of the additional students for us to be able to process your order.
