Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 Logix Designer v24

The Allen-Bradley Studio 5000 Logix Designer v24 software is used to configure Allen-Bradley Logix5000 controllers from Rockwell Automation for discrete, process, batch, motion, safety and drive control.

The Studio 5000 Logix Designer v24 software features a logical organiser that arranges program code based on the users’ applications - rather than how the programmable controller executes. Logical organisation of program code can help users identify and troubleshoot code faster for improved downtime recovery.

Updated library management work flows ease the ability to store and re-use intellectual property. Users can drag and drop modules of code from the Studio 5000 Logix Designer v24 library into a new project. The work flows enable design engineers to re-use sections of code, which reduces design time and eases the ability to make future operational changes.

The software is addressing the need for greater collaboration tools by improved multi-user capabilities, which allows many users to work separately and then bring their work back together.

The software also supports the company’s Kinetix 5500 servo drive with integrated safety to help machine builders reduce development and installation time. The company says the software also provides support that allows the Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 527 AC drive to be the first variable frequency drive to exclusively use the motion instruction sets within the Studio 5000 Logix Designer v24 software for machine control and motor synchronisation.
