Note for Windows XP users:Â The bundled version of RSLinx only installs on Windows Pro and is not supported on Windows XP Home versions.Â To get around this I downloaded an older version of RSLinx Lite 2.50 from the Allen Bradley software update page If you do not have a MicroLogix 1000 or 1100 to play with then download the RSLogix Emulate 500 software.Â Youâ€™ll be able to use this to simulate a real PLC. The RSLogix Micro Starter Lite software is only available as a download at If you are starting from scratch and do not have the RSLinx software then download the kit bundled with RSLinx Classic Lite.Â FYI, I find it a bit confusing but they also sell software called RSLogix Micro Starter which supports the full MicroLogix range. One of my most common questions is, â€œWhere can I get a free download of RSLogix 500?â€Â For any serious development with SLC500 or MicroLogix there is no free option but there is a nice free option if you only want to learn and/or program a MicroLogix 1000 or 1100.Â Programming a MicroLogix is very very similar to programming a SLC500 or in that case a PLC5 too.ÂĪllen Bradley offers as a free download a software package called RSLogix Micro Starter Lite which is essentially the same programming environment as RSLogix 500.Â On top of that, they also offer RSLogix Emulate for free so that you donâ€™t even need a PLC to run and test your ladder logic.Â Keep reading and Iâ€™ll show you how to get the software and set it up.
