There are many more advantages, but those are some of the primary ones.Īlso this video is great demonstration. This allows for a seamless transition from older PLC systems, such as RSLogix 500 and SLC 500 to the industry standard Logix 5000 platform. Plus unlimited I/O, not only discrete, but analog I/O too! Plus the siemens plc part of the bundle, has most PLC instruction set at your disposal, not just contacts, timers and counters like the LogixPro is limited to. PLCLogix has import/export capabilities that allow you to import program files from other PLCs and simulators such as RSLogix 500, RSLogix 5000 and LogixPro.
The Siemens PLC simulator bundle have 20 (more realistic) pre-designed simulations, plus the ability to easily create an infinite number of your own custom simulations.
The Logixpro has 9 pre-designed simulations, up to 32 discrete i/O. But both use ladder logic as the programming language. A couple of the primary differences is with Siemens software and therefor the siemens simulator is that the operating environment and user interface is laid out like a PAC (like RSLogix 5000), not a PLC. If you have used the Logixpro SLC 500 simulator, then got to /siemens-plc-simulator.htm and you will quickly see all the differences. Hi Jeremy: Not exactly sure on your question 'any difference for the Allen Bradley side of things?', but think you are asking is there, and what are the primary difference between the LogixPro Simulator (AB) and the Siemens PLC Simulator Bundle, besides just brand specific differences.
