The Logix 5000 platform is Allen Bradley’s flagship range of PLCs.
The platform is made up of several different PLC systems. Those systems are;
The ControlLogix system. This is a high-performance, multi-controller system in a modular chassis format.
The CompactLogix system. This is a modular system for small standalone to medium-sized connected systems.
The GuardLogix and Compact GuardLogix systems which are fully functioning Logix 5000 controllers which can also provide SIL3 safety control when configured correctly.
All of the Logix 5000 systems use the same control engine and are programmed using the same development environment. The development environment used depends on the firmware of the PLC being programmed.
RSLogix 5000 is used for firmware version 20 and below.
