okay in this video i'm going to show how we could use studio 5000 which is the software for the control objects controller with the logix echo emulator so what we're going to do first is we're going to create a an emulated chassis or cpu using the logix echo software so we're going to open up objects echo and i happen to have it here in my uh pin to my my start menu and it will look like this when you first open it it will say factor talk objects echo dashboard now first time in there should be no controllers so we need to add a controller or a device first so we have our devices menu showing right here if it is not showing then you can click over here in this right hand um menu bar and look for the the left panes for devices actually right here um the kind of the compass symbol will pull up our device menu we're going to hit the three bars and we're going to say add a controller and this will be default there's only one option here and we're going to give it a name and you can call this whatever you want i'm just going to call it um i'm going to call it the elite cpu also we'll keep this revision at 33.11 and your ip address should probably be the 127.0.0.1 if it shows this 192 that's probably the nic card or the ip address of your laptop itself but i do believe uh keep it at 127.0.0.1 and if you want to type in a description that's fine and slot this will basically be what slot in this virtual chassis that we want to put the cpu in i would recommend keeping it in slot 0 but you can pick anywhere from 0 to slot 16 because you can actually have multiple emulated cpus in this logix echo chassis we'll keep it on slot 0 and we'll say add so now this bracket 0 0 indicates that it is in slot 0 and that's the name of my cpu l8 cpu at this point you want to verify just a couple things you want to double click on the device itself and that will pull up the kind of the general properties here and we want to make sure that this controller instance is on and we can also click on the little plug symbols over here in the right hand menu which is device status and we want to make sure that this this slider bar is um is over to the right which indicates that it is on as well and that's it we just kind of leave this running in the background then we'll go back to studio 5000 and we will create a new project i'm going to go file and i'm going to say new and we have logics right we have i have a couple options here these ones may not all be shown on your instance that you have installed you probably will not show factor talk view because you don't have that software installed on your computer but you should have logics and view installed currently view would be for touch screens and logics would be of course the control objects controllers now there are several options here compact compact guard control logics 5570 and control logix 5580 being that we're going to use the logix echo emulator we have to make sure that we choose the 5580 as our type of controller for all of our lab projects now you have options you have several options of the 5580 processor there's a led1 l82 l83 4 and five the only difference between these are the amount of memory that each processor has so it doesn't really matter but i would go ahead and just pick the l81e the e stands for ethernet the nsc stands for no storage uh no stored energy device the ep stands for process controller so we don't need to worry about these to the nsc or the ep we'll just stick with the base l81 processor for our exercises and we'll give this project a name so we can call this um i'll call it elet 287 test and the location will be the path for the file store right now i'm going to my desktop just so that i can quickly find the file later if i needed to but it will go to some default location which is perfectly fine to keep it as is or you can browse and put it into your own location that that you'd prefer to store the file in we'll say next the next option here is basically the revision we want to keep this at version 33. the chassis size uh a7 is default and that's fine we can keep that as well you have options for the various chassis sizes that are available there's 4 slot 7 10 13 and a 17 slot so uh a7 is fine for the seven slot we'll keep the cpu in slot zero because that matches um kind of what we had in the logix echo chassis and uh no no no protection is is good you do have options to to enable security i would highly suggest you do not do that um if you could potentially lock yourself out from getting into this project afterwards and we'll say finish once we say finish it will build the basically it'll build the the project build the structure for the control objects chassis this could take a few moments to do okay so the the build is finished uh we have our kind of our controller organizer here on the left-hand side we have our our overall kind of controller project up top we have our name elet 287 test we have our controller tags uh we have our tasks which will be our where we put our logic underneath the main program uh we have some other options here that we probably will not use at all like such as motion groups alarm manager and assets and then the last piece of this is the i o configuration so we can build um we can build uh you know i o cards in our chassis right now it only shows the [Music] slot 0 which is our cpu in our configuration if i want to add some additional cards i right click here on the back plane and say new module and i can add modules this would be important if we were in the lab because we would want to use and you know the the i o cards that are in the chassis we would need to kind of configure them and show what they are as part of this configuration for our virtual we're not going to worry about that at least not at the moment and then at this point since we have our emulator working and we now have a project created we can just verify and test our communications to the emulator to do that we'll go to communications and we'll say who active you should see who active vector talk links and you'll get um this kind of tree showing up in this window so we have a few options here we have the allen bradley ethernet the allen braille ethernet ip and then we have an emulate ethernet and then just an ethernet in a usb we are going to use the emulate ethernet so i'm going to expand by click on the triangle and yours may take a moment to browse but mine found it pretty quick i have my 127.0.0.1 9310 wed 300 ent emulate 5580 controller this uh this string of characters here is basically the the catalog number for the logix echo emulator itself so that's just telling me that it's the logix echo emulator but then it also further says it's an emulate controller now if i were to actually expand this i don't have to do that i could just click right here and when i do that you'll see that my goal online is no longer grayed out when i had when i was here that is grayed out but when i clicked on the emulate 5580 controller the go online is no longer grayed out but what i would like to show you is that if i were to expand this you'll see i now have a couple options i have back plane in the pc via usb if i were to expand on backplane it actually shows me that in slot zero zero zero is my 9310 wed 300 ent so it's actually showing me that's in slot zero as again like i had mentioned earlier there could be multiple controllers you could you could actually uh create multiple controllers in that emulate rack so we could choose which one we're going to go to do we want to put this program in slot 0 if i want to put it in the slot 1 controller or slot 2 controller being that we only have one controller to pick from the slot zero zero will be it so we don't have to click here we can continue to click at this root level right at the top here and then i'm going to say go online so what's happening is it is making a connection to the emulator and it's basically saying you know hey there's there's a you know what we have here in our in our studio 5000 project doesn't match what's in the emulator do you want to download and we're going to say yes and just ask me again to confirm and we are now downloading of course there's no program there's no logic so so we are just kind of downloading the configuration to the emulator there there's no object so it's not going to execute any kind of programming code yet that'll be kind of what we'll do in the labs is create some code and then download but once again we're just testing out the capability to commit to connect and communicate to the logix echo so we see that we are in remote program mode and that we are connected if i come back to my emulator you'll see there's really nothing happening here nothing to see something that tells me that we are connected or something is running here so again this just kind of runs in the background and we don't really need to worry about it as long as it's running so as you do a lab you'll want to fire up your your logic set go emulator kind of put that in the background and then you open up studio 5000 and you'll do your programming so that's it now at this point if i want to disconnect from the emulator i'll just can click here in this this box that says remote program right now uh yours could say remote run or could say uh something else to the effect but basically we can click on this little arrow and i can choose go offline and when i do that i am no longer connected to the emulator in studio 5000 and i know that because it says offline right here all right so that's just the major um you know so just getting that communications you know first getting the logix echo installed and the studio 5000 software installed and then just making that simple connection is kind of the first kind of major breakthrough that you want to do because once we do that once you're able to get get them running and connected to together then the rest of it will be just doing programming exercises
