Summary
In this chapter, we introduced the virtual controller options in the Rockwell Integrated Architecture platform, including SoftLogix 5800 and Emulate 5000. We learned how to configure our SoftLogix controller's virtual chassis and RSLinx application, and how to create a new project based on the SoftLogix platform. Finally, we learned the power of the 1789-SIM I/O cards and their use with the SoftLogix controller.
In the next chapter, we will introduce the ladder logic programming and its use with the Logix family of physical and virtual controllers.
