How can I tell who is connected to the same plc controller using RS Logix 5000?  I see the symbol of a pencil come up that another user has changed the program.

I do not know if there is a way. All I have ever seen is the icon.

Randy.

Depending on the platform...I do believe some controllers log this information in the PLCs internal buffer memory.

Using the GSV block- this information can be retrieved from the controller.

I know it logs changes in the internal buffer that can be written to the SD card, but I didn't know it logged people connecting to it.

From what I've seen it logs the Windows System Name and IP Address from which the edits are occurring and the Username used ot logged into the Windows.  Depending on your IT dept protocols this information can useful or useless.

As an aside you do know you can "lock" others out of editing while you're editing don't you?
