Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment® combines
engineering and design elements into a common environment. The first element
is the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application. The Studio 5000 Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000 software and will continue to be
the product to program Logix5000™ controllers for discrete, process, batch,
motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000® environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. The Studio 5000
environment is the one place for design engineers to develop all elements of their
control system.
