The Logix platforms provide a common control engine, programming software environment, and communication support across multiple hardware platforms. All Logix controllers operate with a multitasking, multiprocessing operating system and support the same set of instructions in multiple programming languages. One RSLogix 5000 programming-software package programs all Logix controllers. And, as part of the Integrated Architecture, all Logix controllers offer the benefits of the Common Industrial Protocol (CIP) to communicate via EtherNet/IP, ControlNet, and DeviceNet networks.

A simple SoftLogix system can consist of a single, stand-alone computer and its networked devices. For a more robust system, use I/O in multiple platforms that is distributed in many locations and connected over multiple I/O links. 1789-SG001G-EN-P - January 2007 SoftLogix5800 Selection Guide 3 Lay out the system by determining the network configuration and the placement of L La ay yo ou ut t t th he e S Sy ys st te em m components in each location. Place each controller’s I/O on an isolated network to maximize the performance and to more easily accommodate future network or system configuration changes. If you plan to share I/O, make sure the I/O is on a network that each controller can access. For example, assume that Location A and Location B both require a controller. Each controller’s I/O is isolated on its own network. Both controllers must interact with time critical information. Panel C does not require a controller and can be a communication bridge. For a SoftLogix controller to control I/O modules, both the controller and the I/O modules must be directly attached to the same control network. This table lists which controllers in the above example can control which I/O modules. How you configure the I/O modules determines which controller actually controls the modules.

The SERCOS interface module uses a single, digital fiber optic link, which eliminates up to 18 discrete wires per axis. Detailed drive status information can be sent from drive to controller and from controller to drive. The module is compatible with the RSLogix 5000 motion instructions set and axis configuration utilities.

The SoftLogix controller takes the control functions normally found in a dedicated programmable controller, encapsulates them in software, and runs them on a commercial operating system. The multi-tasking operating system supports 32 configurable tasks that can be prioritized. One task can be continuous. The others can be periodic or event tasks. Each task can have as many as 32 programs, each with its own local data and logic, allowing virtual machines to operate independently within the same controller. 1 17 78 89 9 C Co on nt tr ro olllle er rs s I If f y yo ou u n ne ee ed d ( (m ma ax xiim mu um m) ) U Us se e t th hiis s c co on nt tr ro olllle er r A Av va aiilla ab blle e s sllo ot ts s 1 SoftLogix5800 controller; 2 MB per controller 2 PCI network interface cards, which can be a mix of:✶ y One 1784-PCICS y One 1784-PCIC y One 1784-PCIDS 1789-L10 3-slot virtual chassis7 y One EtherNet/IP card No motion support 1 1784-SIM module No third party virtual backplane module support 2 SoftLogix5800 controllers; 64 MB per controller 5 PCI network interface cards‡ 2 1784-PM02AE analog motion cards 1789-L30 5-slot virtual chassis 1 1784-PM16SE SERCOS motion card 5 1784-SIM modules Third party virtual backplane module support 6 SoftLogix5800 controllers; 64 MB per controller 16 PCI network interface cards‡ 4 1784-PM02AE analog motion cards 1789-L60 16-slot virtual chassis 4 1784-PM16SE SERCOS motion card 16 1784-SIM modules Third party virtual backplane module support ✶Even though the 1789-L10 controller supports two PCI network interface cards, each card must be a different network card.
