RSLogix Emulate 500 (CPR 9).The most popular version of this product among our users is 6.0. The product will soon be reviewed by our informers.

UPDATE: As of January 2019 this procedure still works as long as you follow all the steps, including Step 5 and 6.

I commend Rockwell on their efforts to improve their website, however it's disappointing they often don't provide redirects from old pages to new, leaving thousands of daily visitors landing on broken or missing pages like the one below:

That in mind, I've redirected my RSLogix Micro Starter Lite Download Link to come to this page where I can keep this procedure on how to download the free software up-to-date:

1) Start by navigating to www.ab.com, which will redirect you to ab.rockwellautomation.com:

2) Then select Compatibility and Download on the front page:

3) Now type in “RSLogix Micro” in the search box, and then choose “RSLogix Micro Starter Lite w/o RSLinx EN” from the list:

4) Then select “Download”:

5) Next, expand the version listing by click on the plus sign:

6) And the select the downloads link (a small picture of a hard drive and arrow) for version 10 as shown below:

Important: Today, only the downloads for version 10 and 11 have links to the software downloads, so it's important to chose the link shown above:

7) In the next window, select the check-boxes for RSLogix Micro Starter Lite w/o RSLinx EN, RSLogix Emulate, and RSLinx Classic Lite as shown below:

NOTE: The software list shown below may not be in the same exact order as what you find online today as over time Rockwell rearranges this list.

8) Then select the “Download Now” button on the bottom right:

9) At this point you may be asked to login. If you don't already have a free account go ahead and create one and log in so you can continue with the download:

10) Accept the terms:

11) Next I recommend selecting “Direct Download”:

12) Now select the links to download RSLogix Micro Starter Lite, RSLinx Classic, and RS Emulate 500:

Note: Below you'll find a screenshot of Rockwell's website showing which versions of Windows 7 RSLogix Micro 8.3 is supported on (it does work well on Windows 10, but the free version is not officially supported on that OS:)

Free is good

One of the best kept Rockwell secretes is for the last few years they have offered RSLogix Emulate 500 for free.

With this software, you can test your SLC-500 or MicroLogix programs right on your PC, without the need to connect to a physical unit.

And Emulate also supports “debug” files, a sort of reverse ladder logic used to simulate what happens as the process runs.

Good morning Muneer,

Rslogix Emulate 500 Download

We don’t yet have a job board here, so I would recommend checking out a job board site like http://www.Indeed.com and search on PLC or SCADA.

When I worked in Albany, NY, just in that territory there were hundreds of companies that used PLC’s and SCADA and most of their help wanted postings could be found on Indeed.

Hope this helps,

Shawn Tierney
