Preface
Terminology
STEP 7 is the programming software environment for Siemens SIMATIC S7
controllers. RSLogix
5000 software is used with Rockwell Automation Logix
programmable automation controllers. We refer to Logix as a programmable
automation controller because it does so much more than a traditional
general-purpose PLC. It provides an excellent control platform for
multi-discipline control, a common namespace, Coordinated System Time for
truly scalable multi-CPU architectures, user-defined data types, and full
NetLinx connectivity.
The term “Logix” is used to refer to any of the ControlLogix, CompactLogix,
GuardLogix, FlexLogix, DriveLogix or SoftLogix controllers, or the
RSLogix
5000 programming environment where it is clear from the context
which is being referred to.
Additional Resources
Every section of this application conversion guide references other Rockwell
Automation user manuals, selection guides, and documents in which more
information can be found.
