Quick Start to Programming and Simulating in RSLogix 500 

And the best part of it is that this was probably the very LEAST you'll struggle through the rest of Level 2! 😀

Happy to do it, my friend!

I'm real glad to hear that it helped!!

It was long overdue! 😆

Very glad to hear it helped!! 🐸

No worries, my friend, you'll do just fine. But Level 2 is hard as hell, so get ready for that! The rest are pretty smooth sailing. ⛵

I hope you're one of the lucky ones who has an easy time of it! 🤠

Glad it helped!!

It's a painfully long course, but you'll create something AMAZING! 🤗

Very glad you're enjoying the ride so far, my friend! 🤠

Heya! Lecture 2 of the course (the same place where you most likely found the link to this video) explains all of that. You just have to keep reading.

If you download the (rar) archive from lecture 2 of the course and extract it fully using WinRAR, it'll definitely be there. 😉

I totally HATE to say it, but when you run into that error, you've got about three options: 1) Reinstall Windows (which sucks!) 2) Use a different computer (which isn't great) 3) Create a VM and install the software into that (best plan) But that generally happens when either something's broken / missing / corrupted in your Windows OR you've already got some incompatible Rockwell products installed on your machine.

@@PaulLynn Thank you for your quick reply. i will go through these options and try to find the solution. have a great day!!

That's bad news! It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's not usually something we can fix. Email me, and I'll tell you what we can do to get you going. (My email address is in lecture 3 if the course.)

In course 1, if you'll go back to section 1, lecture 2 ("Software and Course Notes") and give it a read, it will explain this and SO MUCH MORE.

How you get out of RSLinx shouldn't matter as long as it's not left running and sucking up system resources when you're not using it. The best way to manage Rockwell software is to keep it on a VM. It's so bad for so many reasons that that's what most PLC programmers end up doing. 😆

@@PaulLynn Thank you for your helpful and quick answer 😃. I'll take it into account.

@@baqaritoradze4866 Have a great weekend! 👻

When that happens, your best bet is to either use a different computer, reinstall Windows or (best option) use a VM for this software.

It sounds like you might not be running ALL THREE apps as Administrator.

I'm not sure what "pop up table" you're refering to. When you load a valid 500 program, you should get a window where you can provide a station number (which should be 1). If that window isn't appearing, make sure of the following: 1) You created and started your SLC500 driver in RSLinx. 2) You created a valid 500 program, verified it and saved it. 3) You loaded that file into Emulate. 4) You didn't get any error messages when installing or running any of the three programs.

You remember that file called "readme" contained within the archive you downloaded? Well... you might want to read it. 😁

But when i just click on GO ONLINE option instead of GO ACTIVE WHO ONLINE

And its works as usual

At 18:24, you should see an empty, grey app window filling most of the screen for about two seconds before it is populated. If you see something different, you'll need to troubleshoot your browser / app / connection.

i dont have the option "workstation BEASTBOX" i really want to learn PLC but this is stopping me

@@akbarhidayat5755 Well, you definitely SHOULDN'T have BEASTBOX appearing on your computer. That's MY computer's name, and you aren't working on my computer, so we're good there. Did you add and start the SLC500 driver? Do you have a project open in Emulate? If either of those is a "no," then that's what you've skipped. Also, if you got any errors while launching any of the three programs, then you need to run all three as Administrator.

@@PaulLynn ive followed your instruction just like in the video, in rslynx its blank white after i clicked rswho. Update: i tried in rslogix micro to go online instead of choosing "who active go online" it works. Because when i choose "who active go online" its blank

@@akbarhidayat5755 Sweet! Glad you got it working. 🤩

@@PaulLynn thank you for replying :)

That happens on occasion, and it's NEVER good! Make sure you've extracted your installation files from the archive, that they're somewhere low-security (like your Desktop), and that your launching the correct setup file as Administrator. Assuming all that's right and the problem persists, your options fall between using a different computer, reinstalling Windows or using a VM (best option) instead.

@@PaulLynn Hey Paul, I have the same situation, I've built a VM (Linux because that's what the tutorial called for) and it still isn't wanting to work, so my question is, is there any other work around? Should my next step be to use another computer? TIA

@@adamv9622 You can use the VM from Level 3 which already has the software installed, configured and working great. Email me, and I'll send you the link.

@@PaulLynn Hi Paul I found a work-around for this issue when installing RsLinx.. I tried installing RsLinx Classic 2.59 from Section 2 instead and that worked for me so might be potential solution for others.. Thanks

@@andrewzarour741 I've tried that a few times in the past, and I had no luck. When I tried, they both failed similarly. But maybe it'll at least work for some people! Glad it did for you...

Have you tried running ALL THREE programs as Administrator?

@@PaulLynn no sir, I installed everything without giving run as administrator

@@hanishthegreat1820 Try that and see what happens...

Certainly. Is the error you got not addressed in Lecture 2?

Not addressed in the lecture

If the error isn't addressed in lecture 2 of the course, then email me as per lecture 3 of the course, and I'll get you straightened out. Easy!@@MSSinHGR

I understand what happened. You didn't read lecture 2, and now you're getting confused. First thing you want to do is: read lecture 2. There, you will find things ESSENTIAL to getting through the course without frustration. You'll find useful information such as: - which processor you should be using instead of the 1400. - why your software looks different from mine. - a procedure of how to create a program and run it. - where to find answers to questions that have already been asked a thousand times (like this one) within SECONDS. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Ya soo now what next I'm getting what ua saying n d classes step-by-step bt now I'm getting confused because of change in software soo can u help me or shd i just wanna continue

@@harshithranganath1134 You're still confused about the software? Did you read Lecture 2? If so, which question did it not answer for you? If not, WHY not?

14) "There's no 1400 in my list of processors" In the course you'll see me programming a MicroLogix 1400 which the Micro version of RSLogix doesn't support. No big deal. :-) Just set your projects up using the 1100B processor, and you'll be able to follow along exactly the same. It means i can continue further classes by selecting 1100B i get it thankyou sir

The download links are provided in Section 1 / Lecture 2 of my PLC Fundamentals course.

@@PaulLynn perfect Sr

I already bought it on Udemy @@PaulLynn

I can't even begin to guess which file or program you might be working with. But: - if you can't extract the archive, try redownloading it and extracting it with WinRAR. - if your installation is failing, make sure you've extracted it from the archive BEFORE installing. - if you're running the programs, make sure you're running ALL THREE as Administrator. If you're having some other problem, you'll have to be more specific. Sorry, but I'm terrible at playing the guessing game!

@@PaulLynn hi mr paul..i did all the step but when i run the RSE MULATE file as an admistration it says error connot found file ....idk why...all the step is done except the last one

@@anatimk2308 Let's do an AeroAdmin session and I'll take a look: ulm.aeroadmin.com/AeroAdmin.exe

@@PaulLynn ok tell me what to do

i have my ip and what is client ip ?

Where would we men be without our beautiful wimminz? 😎
