RSLogix 5000 Programming Software

Vendor Sample Projects

About the RSLogix 5000 Sample Projects

Your RSLogix 5000 software comes with many sample projects you can use to make it easier to create your own projects, if
you wish. For instance, you can use them as examples to follow when creating your own projects. You can use them as a
starting point for your own applications by renaming them and then adding your own application code. Or you can simply
copy and paste project components from one project to another. Along with the sample projects provided by Rockwell
Automation are many provided by other vendors that may assist you in creating projects to use with that particular vendor's
products.
Sample projects are provided as examples only and must be used with care. Refer to the Disclaimer at the end of this
document, and to the End User License Agreement (EULA) included in the RSLogix 5000 Release Notes for additional
information. For additional assistance in working with sample projects in general, please contact your Technical Support
representative; for specific questions related to a vendor's sample project, please contact the particular vendor for
assistance. Remember that, as with any new program, you should test the sample program to make certain that it works
with your application before actually implementing it in your normal operations.
Please refer to the next section, Working With Sample Projects, for information and recommendations on how to
effectively use these sample projects.

Working With Sample Projects

Important: Before you begin using a sample project, make a copy of the project, save it with a new name, and make any
edits you need to make to this renamed project. By doing this, you are making certain that you have a backup copy of the
original sample project that will be preserved for future use.
RSLogix5000 sample projects may include a number of components that you will need to copy individually in order for the
sample project components to function properly in your application. These may include, but are not limited to:
ƒ modules
ƒ data types
ƒ tags
ƒ routines

If you are copying into an existing project, conflicts may occur with components that already exist, or if the location or type
of modules does not match the location assumed in the sample project. In that case, you may need to rename components,
change locations, or make other modifications, as necessary.
You can use the RSLogix 5000 Compare utility (included on your RSLogix 5000 software CD) to compare the sample
project file with an empty (i.e., new) project file. This will help you to identify the components you need to modify. Refer
to the online help included with the RSLogix 5000 Compare utility for more information on performing the comparison.
