Logix5000 Programming Languages
Add-On Instructions
With version 16 of RSLogix 5000 programming software, you can
design and configure sets of commonly used instructions to increase
project consistency. Similar to the built-in instructions contained in
Logix5000 controllers, these instructions you create are called Add-On
Instructions. Add-On Instructions reuse common control algorithms.
With them, you can:
• ease maintenance by animating logic for a single instance.
• protect intellectual property with locking instructions.
• reduce documentation development time.
You can use Add-On Instructions across multiple projects. You can
define your instructions, obtain them from somebody else, or copy
them from another project.
