Description
PLCLogix 5000 Product Details:
PLCLogix 5000 is a Programmable Controller simulator that replicates the operation of a ControlLogix 5000, RSLogix/Studio 5000, and several real world applications, and is an ideal tool for learning the fundamentals of ladder logic programming with tag-based addressing.
PLCLogix will allow you to practice and develop your programming skills, and provides the ability to write, edit and debug ladder logic programs based on RSLogix 5000 PLC software. Unlike other PLCs, the Logix 5000 uses tags, which are a far more powerful method of programming PLCs but also more complex. PLCLogix provides a method of learning and understanding the operation of a sophisticated tag-based PLC system by using simulation to demonstrate the operation of ladder logic programs.
PLCLogix has import/export capabilities that allow you to import program files from other PLCs and simulators such as RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000 and LogixPro. This allows for a seamless transition from older PLC systems, such as RSLogix 500 and SLC 500 to the industry standard Logix 5000 platform. Educators will find this feature particularly helpful since they can easily transfer their existing ladder logic programs into PLCLogix programs without having to spend countless hours creating new programs.
One of the main advantages of using PLCLogix is that it provides much-needed “hands on” experience in the operation of RSLogix and ControlLogix software and hardware. The Graphic User Interface (GUI) for PLCLogix has the same features and functionality as RSLogix 5000. PLCLogix allows you to write a program, see the program’s operation using a ladder logic simulator, and control the operation of the program from within this interactive environment.
In order to properly understand the operation of a PLC as complex and powerful as the Logix 5000, it is necessary to spend considerable time programming, testing, and de-bugging ladder logic programs. PLC systems are inherently expensive, and down-time is often very costly. In addition, if a PLC is programmed incorrectly it can result in lost productivity and dangerous conditions. Anyone who currently works with PLCs or who has a desire to learn how PLCs operate needs access to PLC simulation. It is essential in the understanding and learning of PLCs and to keep this knowledge refreshed and up to date. Programming and operating PLCs is a “hands on” experience and having lots of time to use the PLC is by far the best way to learn it.

Purchase PLCLogix 5000 from The Automation School and receive the below Mastering Logix Application course at no additional charge!
Become a master at solving ControlLogix and CompactLogix applications without having to buy thousands of dollars of equipment and software by taking our NEW 2025 Mastering Logix Applications using PLCLogix 5000 simulation software.
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 $410/year for Mini,) an A-B controller (starting at $950 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 $294.77. 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, or purchase vouchers for each employee.
