Preface
Studio 5000 environment The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment® combines
engineering and design elements into a common environment. The first
element is the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application. The Logix Designer
application is the rebranding of RSLogix 5000® software and will continue to
be the product to program Logix 5000™ controllers for discrete, process,
batch, motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000® environment is the foundation for the future of
Rockwell Automation® engineering design tools and capabilities. The Studio
5000 environment is the one place for design engineers to develop all
elements of their control system.
