RSLogix5000 Sturctured Text

[hboyer90 3]

I want to play around with learning Structured Text during some of my down time at work.  I am very confident with Ladder, but have never tried function block or structured text.  I'm sure I can read the help section of RSLogix and find resources online.  My question is, how do I start a new program in Structured Text?  I tried to create a new routine and I see where there is an option for language, but the only language that it allows me to select is Ladder Logic.  Do I need a special license to use Structured Text?  Or am I just doing something wrong?

If it matters, I am currently using RSLogix 5000 v20.04

Thanks

If I remember right, when we bought R19, structured text only came with the Professional Edition.

it is likely you have Rslogix 5000 standard license  so to use structured text ,you need to  purchase upgrade option  to get professional edition. I know before ,you can also purchase some sort an add-on license so you can use structured text or function block but i am not sure since they are migrating to Studio 5000  now....
