The Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture is a production control and information system allowed by fully integrated control, network, visualization and information technologies. The Integrated Architecture platform addresses a full range of control and information needs for discrete, process, batch, motion, drive and safety applications, and addresses enterprise performance information needs including quality and compliance, production management and asset management.


"We've been uniquely successful in integrating control and information system functionality to reduce complexity and costs while providing innovative system features that help improve productivity and time to market," said Steve Eisenbrown, senior vice president, Rockwell Automation.

New advanced process control (APC) features include runtime partial import/export functionality, APC function blocks and controller online change logging. Runtime partial import functionality helps reduce downtime risks and improve productivity during deployment and maintenance operations, allowing the addition of new programs, routines and add-on instructions, as well as replacement of existing programs and routines. New APC function blocks allow for long, dead-time processes and provide simpler multivariable control with automatic tuning built in. The controller online change-logging feature allows users to be notified when application changes are made. Regulated industries will benefit from tighter control and evidence of validation for industry certifications. Process customers may also be interested in the new Allen Bradley ControlLogix L65 PACs with increased memory capacity.

New safety tools for use with Allen-Bradley GuardLogix PACs offer a suite of 10 specific metal-forming instructions certified by German-based Berufsgenossenschaften (BG) as compliant with leading safety standards. These instructions - associated with clutch/brake, control and safety, valve control, and cam and crankshaft monitoring - improve ease of use, simplify diagnostics and streamline maintenance to canning applications and other metal-forming press-control and safety applications.

The new GuardLogix L63S PAC is also available with this release. Because GuardLogix controllers are designed to help perform safety and standard functions, the amount of time required for programming, validation and testing is reduced. Using the same controller for both safety and standard control also helps reduce wiring costs.

New information capabilities are provided with the introduction of the Rockwell Automation Stratix family. The Rockwell Automation Stratix family features a Rockwell Automation and Cisco co-branded line of modular, managed switches with attributes that will add value to both IT and automation control professionals. Other product lines in the portfolio include Embedded Technology, as well as lines of fixed managed and unmanaged switches, and physical media. The entire portfolio uses standard, unmodified Ethernet and is optimized for use in EtherNet/IP applications and the Integrated Architecture system, while the Cisco operating system, user environment and feature set is exclusive to the Stratix 8000 line.

New capabilities for machine builders include the introduction of the Allen Bradley CompactLogix L23 PACs designed to provide the capabilities of the Integrated Architecture system in a small compact package. Offering three I/O and communication configurations to help meet machine builder needs, the new controllers can be expanded using Allen-Bradley 1769 Compact I/O. Also available with this release is multilingual project documentation with language switching. Ideal for users with the same applications running at international locations, the improvement helps reduce engineering costs by allowing customers to globally deploy a single project file with user documentation in multiple languages.

"These Integrated Architecture system improvements are a direct response to manufacturers who seek a new generation of more powerful automation and production systems to automate and standardize their work processes more effectively," said Craig Resnick, research director, ARC Advisory Group. "Manufacturing organizations are becoming increasingly dependent upon the availability of real-time information from all aspects of their production operations. Thus, it is incumbent upon manufacturers today to deploy information architectures in the production environment that facilitates transparent connectivity between production equipment and all aspects of their enterprise."

The new capabilities in this Integrated Architecture system release will begin shipping today and are ideal for machine builders, as well as end users in food and beverage, life sciences, and other industries that rely on manufacturing information from an integrated process control environment.

*******************************************************
*WARNING: Do not depend on the emulator to match your *
*physical controller’s performance or operation. Some *
*instructions are interpreted differently in the *
*emulator than in a physical controller, and the *
*execution times for instructions and program files *
*will be significantly different in an emulated *
*controller than in a physical controller. *
*******************************************************

Any RSLogix 5000 version from Version 12 through 16


Installation Procedure
Product Installation:
Begin the installation of the product by running the setup.exe file
located at the root of the CD media. This will launch a CD browser that
provides a means to install the RSLogix Emulate 5000 product, and
also displays pertinent product information.

Please use the "Add/Remove Programs" applet in control panel to remove
previous versions of SoftLogix5800. While performing an install or uninstall,
please note any messages that recommend a system reboot. Failure to follow
the reboot instructions can render your installation inoperable.

If you want to reinstall the same vesion as is currently installed, please use the
"Add/Remove Programs" applet in control panel to remove the existing version of
RSLogix Emulate 5000. While performing an install or uninstall, please note any
messages that recommend a system reboot. Failure to follow the reboot instructions
can render your installation inoperable.

Please refer to the RSLogix Emulate 5000 Getting Results Guide for details on
installing this product. This document can be viewed with the Adobe Acrobat
Reader by opening the file LGEM5K-GR016A-EN-P.pdf located at
\Documentation on the RSLogix Emulate 5000 CD.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
RSLogix Emulate 5000 cannot be installed on any machine that already has
SoftLogix5800 installed on it.

RSLinx Classic should be installed before installing the RSLogix Emulate 5000
product.

If RSLinx Classic is installed after RSLogix Emulate 5000, please run the
SIRegEDS.exe program that can be found in the RSEMU5000 directory on the
installation CD. After the products are installed, you must first add the
Virtual Backplane driver in RSLinx Classic in order to connect to the
SoftLogix engine.

Even if you plan to remotely program the controller over a ControlNet or
Ethernet link, you must add the Virtual Backplane driver via RSLinx Classic
software. If you do not, persistent storage will not function and when you
reboot the computer, the controller will come up with cleared memory (the
program will not get re-loaded).

Data Execution Prevention (a feature of Microsoft Windows also known as DEP) is
not supported by RSLogix Emulate 5000. If your computer's CPU supports DEP, we
advise using DEP for only essential Windows programs and services. (This is the
default setting for Windows XP; for Windows Server 2003, DEP is on by default
for all programs and services.) If DEP is turned on for RSLogix Emulate 5000,
you may experience unexpected results. See your Windows documentation for
information regarding DEP.

Jump to Subroutine (JSR) instructions do execute in the emulator. However,
the instruction passes parameters to subroutines in reverse order from the
order in a physical controller (the last parameter is passed first in an
emulated controller). Do not use JSR instructions in a manner where the
order in which parameters are passed to a subroutine matters.
