Rslogix
However, dismissing RSLogix as "obsolete" would be a mistake. It is the COBOL of manufacturing—old, sometimes frustrating, but absolutely critical to the global supply chain. Every bottle of soda, every car fender, and every pharmaceutical batch produced in the last 20 years was likely touched by code written in RSLogix.
But what exactly is RSLogix, why did it become so dominant, and where does it stand today? At its heart, RSLogix is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)—a piece of software used to write, debug, and deploy code onto a PLC. Before RSLogix, programming PLCs often involved proprietary, text-heavy DOS-based software. RSLogix changed the game by popularizing a more intuitive, graphical approach to ladder logic , a programming language that visually resembles electrical relay diagrams. rslogix
For the modern controls engineer, the path is clear: Master RSLogix to understand the past, and learn Studio 5000 to build the future. However, dismissing RSLogix as "obsolete" would be a mistake
This was not just a rebranding. Studio 5000 integrated the PLC programming environment with HMI (FactoryTalk View), Motion control, and drive configuration into a single "engineering framework." The goal was to create a unified ecosystem rather than standalone tools. But what exactly is RSLogix, why did it
Based on the date I am going to guess this ending was inspired by LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR – which does a similarly nasty last minute misogynist sucker punch fake-out after two odd hours of women’s lib swinging. Were male filmmakers really threatened by the entrance of women’s lib, Billie Jean King, Joan Collins, and Erica Jong’s “zipless f*ck” they needed a retaliation? If so, good lord. I remember being around 13 and seeing the last half of GOODBAR on cable thinking I was finally getting to see ANNIE HALL. I seriously could have used PTSD therapy afterwards – but how do you explain all that as a kid? I’ve always wanted to (and still do) sucker punch Richard Brooks for revenge ever afterwards, And I would never see this movie intentionally. I’ve cried my Native American by the side of the road pollution tear once too often.
