Course Description

This course covering the RSlogix/Studio5000 ladder logic PLC Training Basic is for any of you who may have used or had exposure to a conventional PLC, but with little or no exposure to RSlogix/Studio5000 used in any of the 4 platforms where it is used. It is also for First Time Users with very basic knowledge of PLC's generally. This software, and the Rockwell Automation platforms that use it, is very powerful and for me is my PLC software and hardware of choice, Very user-friendly.

I shall be your instructor during this training and I have had many years of practical experience creating projects and programming PLC's, HMI's, commissioning, and face-to-face training. I also possess a SAQA Further Education and Training Certificate: Measurement, Control and Instrumentation. This is South African but recognized in many countries internationally.

The course will start by introducing you to the 4 platforms using RSlogix/Studio5000 and explaining the differences.

Next, I will cover with you, the steps taken to create a RSlogix/Studio5000 project and make it work.

Who Should Take This Course?

  • This RSlogix/Studio5000 ladder logic PLC Training Basic course is designed as an introductory course for users who have had exposure to PLC ladder programming but limited or no exposure to Studio5000.

  • This course is also strongly recommended if you are a user of PLC5 or SLC500 and you are upgrading to Controllogix or Compactlogix and you will then be a new user.

  • This is a basic course, so if you are an experienced user of Studio5000 you might get bored.

Listed below are some of the topics I will cover with you in this course.

  • An explanation of all the different platforms using the Studio 5000 software.

  • I will show you how to create an RSlogix/Studio5000 project from scratch.

  • You will learn the scheduling mechanism used by Studio5000 in the form of Tasks, Programs and Routines.

  • Setting up and navigating the software will teach you the functions of the toolbars and setting up the colour scheme preferred by you.

  • How can the program flow within a project behave? I will show you using instructions such as JSR, MCR and others.

  • You will learn how to program a ladder routine using the most popular instructions such as Bits, Timers, Counters, and many others.

  • I will show you how to create Tasks, Programs and Routines.

  • You will learn how to establish communication between the computer and PLC using RSlinx.

This is just a short description explaining what you will learn but there is a lot more that you will learn if you take  the

RSlogix/Studio5000 Ladder Logic PLC Training. Basic.

There are a number of quizzes that you can complete after each section to help you reinforce your knowledge and gain confidence using the software. There are also some practical labs for you to complete with a solution attached where I will be demonstrating my solution.

At the end of the course, you will feel confident creating and running a project, interrogating an existing project and carrying out necessary changes to a running operation.

The majority of the course consists of video tutorials where I will explain all the different aspects of Studio5000 and demonstrate the use of the software for each of these aspects.

The more you can use the software, the better you will be, Then the next course which will cover advanced options of Studio5000, will be of real benefit to you.

So if you are Really Serious about learning Studio5000 using platforms such as Controllogix, Compactlogix or even Softlogix then this course is for you. Enroll on this course Now and you can be learning Today.

Very informative course for an online course. took the course to help me improve my Logix 5000 knowledge with the tag bases. I plan to review the course a couple of times to cement the knowledge gained.

By Maurice Kra on 9/19/2025

les explications sont claires. l'auteur Jeff Sharman maîtrise son sujet. je suis fièr de l'avoir comme formateur. Il est expérimenté. cene sont pas des morceaux de cours inutiles. toutes les sections sont pratiques et ouvrent le champs à d'autres réflexions. Mr Jeff Sharman est simplement super. ce cours est excellent

This course is help me to update my skills, after completing the course I have confident for RS Logix basic knowledge. I will defiantly join advance level of course. Thank you.

By Lauryn Bagwell on 8/8/2024

I have Studio 5000 and an emulator available. These tools made the training very useful for following along to learn how to navigate the software. However, the lab solutions could be more detailed on how and why solutions are setup. Also it would be helpful to have more basic labs throughout the course with solutions and descriptions of actions in the solutions.

By Sabih Masood on 9/9/2022

The information presented was very practical and useful, and it was conveyed in an easy to understand and in a concise manner. Thank you for making this course. I'll also take the advanced one.

I should say that this course is well arranged and you will not get confused. The subjects are explained both simple and complete enough. It needs more examples and exercises for ladder programming.

By Andrew Morris on 2/17/2021

Really good introductory course. Pros: - Professional presentation. - digestible amount of content and section layout. - Good use of examples that took the material one step further in complexity (e.g. why a holding timer is necessary, and what are its elements). - Thank you for elaborating beyond the text on the video where necessary. Comments: I liked the greater context of introducing RSLogix Platforms, though I felt their inclusion might have been out of order in this series. Let me explain: if you're walking through this series, you probably have been exposed to Logix through work or maybe a college course. At this stage, you've seen a screen containing ladder logic and understand that it is used to control the order of which plant functions occur. You might be tasked with basic rung editing or troubleshooting so learning how you code with this system is why you're here. The first section gets lost on me, as I don't know the software well enough to understand the context of the hardware. I also thought the two labs were appropriate in complexity, not overwhelming, but used most of the content, and were open-ended in terms of solution. I thought there could be more specificity in the problem statements. I missed the fact that the conveyor was not tied to the car_enter sensor, but the Track_Start. Also I missed what the Step DINT in the Mixer problem was for.

This course is definitely thorough. Excited to get into more complex documentation
