Go to RSLogix 500 Software and the select the PLC CPU, learn in this chatper we will learn to Configure, Programming and Simulaate, Don't worry if your don't have a real PLC Hardware

Add these Instructions from the above, these Contactos work in a LADDER Enviroment

NOTE, this is Very Important, you must to add the Right Adresses to the instructions, go to the side and select the right instructions you must to choose INPUT, OUTPUT, Flags (Binary), etc

Then begin to order the program and start to add address to each instruction

You can to add a name in every o each instruction to recognize what means each one

Other point very important is COMPILE each program or modification in the Programmation, the Software will recognize any error if the program have a error or wrong instruction, really is a very good Software, you can see down "Verify has completed, no errors found", our program is OK to Start to Simulaate

Save the program and prepare us to work together with the others Allen Bradley programs

RSLogix is ready, now gonna configure RSLinx and Emulator

Open RSLinx that we have downloaded Here in last chapter

Take NOTE very important

You must to configure:

• Communications => Configure Drivers
• Add SLC500 DH485 Emulator Driver
• Now appear a new link EMU500 in the RSLinx, this is the Emulator

Next Open Emulator 500 and Open the file created in RSLogix (remember always compile), Press RUN and if it works, back to RSLinx and now you can see a new device of Emulator with program name called in RSLogix

If we have linked both programs in RSLinx, we are ready to simulate all instructions of PLC Programmation

In RSLogix 500 go to above menu and select COMMS => Systems Comms then you can see the devices from RSLinx and we must to UPLOAD the Emulator to RSLogix side, you can see is very important RSLinx to connect with Allen Bradley Devices, So go to "UPLOAD" choosing the Emulator in left side, the program to simulate must to be the same open in Emulator or you may have a "error"

if all is OK, in the window go to "OFF Line" and select "Download" in next window just select OK; in image is just a example the text and don't affect in the configuración

If stay here in this window, we are almost ready to start to Simulate the Allen Bradley! Software, go side and select "RUN"

When the program now is mode "REMOTE RUN" the program already is running in Simulation Mode

The program is now On-Line and gonna start to Simulate the "BITS" these instructions of simulation can change 0-1 => OFF-ON, As a Control System works in a real Automation Process

Select "Toggle Bit" is change State 0-1 or 1-0, in this case the "STOP" activate to "1", this is because a STOP (Red Pushbutton Stop) is better wire to a PLC as Normally Closed NC it means always closed in the PLC (Remeber you must to know how Control Works, you can see Learn Control Systems Here

Now to simulate a easy "START" ADD to Start a Toggle Bit "1" and then inmediatly back to "0", simulating a Start Pushbutton Green, you can see in the image program has electrical retention, all working very good

Finally to finish On-line Mode and back to the Program to change or add new instruction (Yes, we recommend make any modification Off-line) go to side and select OFF-line

To back to Simulate the new program, First Compile and then back to charge the program in "Download" => "RUN" Easy to Simulate!
