Rockwell Automation released Version 35 of its Studio 5000 Logix Designer. This version is designed with a number of new and enhanced features, including the introduction of support for the latest Rockwell Automation hardware, including:

  • FLEXHA 5000 I/O
  • GuardLink
  • 1756-EN4TR Enhancements

For process industry applications, version V35 includes the expansion of the SequenceManager to include Logix Designer5x80P controller support, as well as the addition of three new process instructions that will be added to and embedded in the software, including P_SD, P_nPOS, and P_valveMP. These instructions, along with other various process improvements made to the software, can be paired with PlanxPAx, which can help to further streamline programming process applications.

An enhancement request from users within Studio 5000 to better support Motion applications is the ability to virtualize motion for Kinetix, PowerFlex and iTRAK 5730 CIP Motion devices. Axis-Test Mode supports physical controllers and emulated controllers using FactoryTalk Logix Echo, which allows for greater flexibility and design time experimentation via virtualization.

This latest version will align with FactoryTalk Logix Echo V2 and the upcoming Studio 5000 Logix Designer SDK, offering the first publicly available user scripting utility for Studio 5000. This improvement will allow users to write C++ script commands to further automate repetitive tasks in the Logix Designer application environment.
