: It supports communication with FactoryTalk View HMI applications, allowing for full system simulation including the operator interface. Hardware Cost Savings
Configure the Virtual Backplane (AB_VBP-1) driver in RSLinx Classic to communicate with the virtual controller [1].
: Choose Studio 5000 Logix Emulate v34 from the product list. Ensure that RSLinx Classic or FactoryTalk Linx is selected as well, as these communications drivers are mandatory for bridging your design software with the emulator.
Ensure you have a valid TechConnect support contract and a Support Account to access the download.
Studio 5000 Logix Emulate v34 is a controller emulation product that allows testing and debugging of Logix5000 control logic without physical PLC hardware. Use it to validate programs, run simulated I/O, and integrate with FactoryTalk or other software.
Two common activation methods:
: Accept the End User License Agreement (EULA) and run the downloaded executable file to begin the full installation.
Before downloading your software, you must select the appropriate emulator ecosystem for your targets. Rockwell Automation splits its simulation solutions into two main products based on controller generation:
: Once validated, add the files to your download cart and choose between a "Managed Download" (using a download manager) or a "Direct Download" for individual files. Installation Highlights
