What is the SoftLogix System?
This chapter discusses SoftLogix controller options and characteristics.
Procedures include how to configure your SoftLogix controller in the virtual
chassis monitor for the first time and how to create your SoftLogix project in the
Logix Designer application.
The SoftLogix system is a ‘soft’ control system that runs in Microsoft operating
systems. The system resides on a computer, as opposed to a physical module in a
hard chassis. For a list of the supported Windows operating systems, see the
System Requirements section of the current release notes. The SoftLogix
controller is part of the Logix environment and is a software-based controller that
supports Logix instructions.
