North America's Leading PLC
Allen Bradley / Rockwell Automation
Rockwell Automation holds a significant share of the global programmable logic controller (PLC) market, estimated to be around 20%. This makes them one of the leading manufacturers of industrial automation equipment and solutions in the world, with a strong presence in a wide range of industries such as automotive, food and beverage, oil and gas, and more.
We've been working with their PLC's from the first version of RSLogix, version 2.0. A program that supported the PLC-5 series of controllers. Over the next few years, new versions were released that added support for other Allen Bradley controllers, including the SLC 500 series, which we are still supportng today.
RSLogix 5000, which was a major update to the software. RSLogix 5000 was designed to support the ControlLogix and CompactLogix families of controllers, which used a new programming language called Structured Text (ST) instead of the older Relay Ladder Logic (RLL) language and offered greater efficiency during development.
Studio 5000 is the successor to RSLogix 5000 and includes a number of features that make it easier to create and maintain Logix-based control systems. For example, it includes a library of pre-built function blocks and instructions, as well as tools for creating and managing reusable code modules..
