8 Rockwell Automation Publication IASIMP-QS035B-EN-P - April 2015
Preface
Before Using This Publication
Do the following before you use this quick start:
• Install and configure the Logix5000 controller.
• Install the Studio 5000 Logix Designer™ application.
• Configure the controller network.
• Create a project file for your application.
For more information on how to complete these tasks with specific Logix5000 controllers, see the Integrated Architecture:
L
ogix5000 Control Systems Quick Starts Quick Reference, publication
IASIMP-QR024.
The example graphics that are shown are for CompactLogix™ 5370 L3 controllers. The specific steps to complete the tasks depend
on the Logix5000 controller you use.
Table 1 - Tasks to Complete before Using This Quick Start
Task Description
Prepare the Logix5000 control
system hardware
Assemble the control system and connect to the required communication networks. Some components, for example, the Logix5000 controller and
system power supply, are required. Other components, for example, a network communication module, are optional. These graphics illustrate the
assembly of one example Logix5000 controller on a paint-free grounded panel.
IMPORTANT: T
his task excludes installation of other hardware components, for example, the Kinetix 5500 drives, used over the networks included in
your application.
Prepare the computer Install the required software on your computer. The Studio 5000 Engineering and Design Environment™ combines engineering and design elements
into a common environment. The first element in the Studio 5000® environment is the Logix Designer application. Logix Designer is the rebranding of
RSLogix™ 5000 software. Logix Designer is the product to program Logix5000 controllers for discrete, process, batch, motion, safety, and drive-based
solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of R
ockwell Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. It is the one place
for design engineers to develop all elements of their control system.
