Softlogix Chassis Monitor

 

A typical SoftLogix system uses a virtual chassis application, the chassis monitor, that houses controllers and communication modules that interface with other Logix controllers and I/O modules. I/O simulator modules in the virtual chassis make application debugging and system startup easier. These devices reside on a virtual backplane. The chassis monitor is the interface to the SoftLogix controller. We use the monitor to:. Add and configure controllers. Add and configure communication cards. Add and configure motion cards. Change processor mode. Monitor controller and associated module status. Monitor motion performance. ControlLogix Control Systems. Our ControlLogix® control systems use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller, and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation.

  • Runs on Windows® 7 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems
  • Uses the same Studio 5000® environment and Logix control engine as other Logix platforms
  • Includes platform independence (whitebox, industrial computer, etc.).
  • Provides connection to open networks, including EtherNet/IP™, ControlNet™, and DeviceNet™
  • Offers customization of data access, virtual backplane toolkit for integration of third party networks or specialty modules
  • Supports multiple I/O interfaces
  • Provides ability to develop custom C programs to integrate via external routines
