5-2 Ladder Logic Programming—Including Reading Inputs
What is RSLogix?
RSLogix5 (for the PLC-5), RSLogix500 (for the SLC-5/03), and RSLogix5000 
(for ControlLogix) software let you create the ladder logic programs you need 
and download them to the processor. They also let you monitor the program 
as the processor is using it.
For more information on RSLogix5, RSLogix500, or RSLogix5000, consult 
the respective software’s documentation.
What are Ladder Logic 
Programs?
A PLC, SLC, or ControlLogix ladder logic program lets you control the drive 
and the messaging from the processor to the drive. Figure 5.1 shows how the 
I/O image table for a DeviceNet scanner relates to the 1336 PLUS drive when 
a DeviceNet to SCANport Communication Module with Digital Inputs is 
used.
