The Valve_HMI links information to display to the operator on the HMI via a global object. This data type is an InOut parameter for AOI_ValveSolenoid, so the AOI has read/write privileges. We will pass the AOI the tag Valve_HMI which is a user-defined data type. For a solenoid valve, we will use an AOI from DMC’s internal Rockwell library called AOI_ValveSolenoid. Here at DMC, we use AOIs to improve code modularity and save time. The other two are for mapping inputs and outputs.
One is an Add On Instruction or AOI in Device Control. There are three rungs total in this project. I have also included a picture of controller tags to help explain some of the tag definitions. There are two programs in the MainTask: Inputs and Device Control. To keep the focus on emulation, we will use a simple PLC program for a solenoid valve.
We will explain the rationale for this latter. After clicking next, set the revision to 31 and put the controller in slot 2. When selecting a controller, select Emulate 5570 Studio 5000 Logix Emulate Controller. We will start in Studio 5000 Logix Designer and create a new project.
Rockwell has more information on version compatibility. It is critically important to have compatible versions. This example will use Studio 5000 Logix Designer V31.01.00, FactoryTalk View Studio V10.00.00, Studio 5000 Logix Emulate V32.00.00, and RSLinx Classic V4.11.00. To emulate, you must have four applications. This blog will walk you through how to do so using Rockwell’s Studio 5000 and FactoryTalk VIEW ME. Or if you right click on an empty slot, the create button will be active and you will see a menu like the picture below.Emulating a controller is a useful way to test PLC code and an HMI project when physical hardware is not available. The slots will be empty when you first turn on the emulator.Ĭreate a new module while using create button on the slot menu We will talk about how to upload the program you wrote in RSLogix PLC software to Emulator and how to make changes to PLC online and make changes. In addition to the Studio 5000 Logix Emulator, you need Rslinx and rslogix Studio 5000 software. There is an important setting to install the software. You can simply install the Studio 5000 Logix Emulator software on your computer. Studio 5000 Logix emulator software is a licensed program, so you must download the software by entering your license number from the Rockwell download page and then install the Studio 5000 Logix Emulator software on your computer. It is a virtual PLC where you test the software you usually write without having a real PLC CPU with Studio 5000 Logix Emulators.
