500 v Micro

[Daryl 1]

I've recently been liasing with a contractor who was using RSLogix Micro to monitor a MicroLogix 1200 system. I hadn't seen this software being used before, as I use RSLogix 500 for MicroLogix 1200 systems. Is there any difference between these two programs, either technically or price? thanks... Daryl

Yes, the RSLogix Micro software (developer version retail $503.99) will only program Micrologix controllers, whereas the RSLogix 500 Standard software (retail $1,535.20) will program all SLC and Micrologix controllers: http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellsoftware/design/rslogix500/orderinginfo.html http://www.rockwellautomation.com/rockwellsoftware/design/rslogixmicro/orderinginfo.html

Ok, thanks for that. So the 500 software I have does the same job as the Micro when using MicroLogix software, but the 500 can work with other processors! Thanks! :)
