STEP BY STEP INSTALLATION - this tutorial is documented in Windows 7 home premium - Procedures may vary ranging from different OS versions.
Hardware requirements - an Intel Pentium II® or greater microprocessor - 128 MB of RAM for Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installations (64
MB for Windows 98® installations - 45 MB of available hard disk space - 256-color SVGA graphics adapter with 800x600 resolution - a CD-ROM drive or a flash drive - any Windows-compatible mouse or other pointing device
Software requirements
- The operating system must be one of the following: - Microsoft Windows 2000
- Windows XP (with or without Service Pack 2) - Windows Server 2003 (with or without Service Pack 1)
- Windows Server 2003 R2 - RSLogix 500 will not run on earlier versions of Windows, nor will it run on
Windows Vista. - RSLogix 500 relies on RSLinx Classic™ communication software, version
2.51.00 or later.

Installing Rs Linx
RSLinx Classic Lite provides communication between the programmable controller and a personal computer. To install RSLinx Classic Lite software:
1. Log onto the computer as an administrator or as a user with
administrative privileges. 2. Insert the RSLogix 500 CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The
installation program should start automatically. If it does not, open the installation disk with Windows Explorer and run AUTORUN.EXE.
OR
Insert the Flash drive that contains the installer file for RSLinx. Locate the file which contains the installer files
Double Click the file labelled “RSLinx/RSLinx Classic™” to view its contents, a list of items of the following figure will prompt on the screen.

TRANSFER MASTER KEY TO A FLASH DRIVE
A special build of the EVMOVE Program has been created in response to the growing number of PC's and Laptops that are created without a Floppy Drive. The steps below will describe the appropriate way to move an activation file from a master (floppy) disk, or Hard Drive to a USB Flash Drive.
1. Format the USB Flash Drive to FAT32
Right Click the flash drive
Double click on Format… in the list pane
Note :
FAT or NTFS formats on the flash drive are not recommended and has not been proven to work well with this procedure
Make sure any information is copied off of the Flash Drive BEFORE the format. You can check the current format of a Flash Drive by right clicking it in
Windows Explorer and selecting Properties.

Name Description
XIC
Examined If Closed
Functions as an input or storage bit. If it is ON, it will allow rung continuity and outputs will be energized.
XIO
Examined If Open
Functions as an input or storage bit. If it is ON, it will not allow rung continuity and outputs on the rung will be de-energized.
OTE Output
Energize Sets the specified bit when rung continuity is achieved (rung goes true).
OTL
Output Latch
Functions about the same as OTE except that once a bit is set with an OTL, it is "latched" on. The bit must be reset with an OTU instruction.
OTU Output
Unlatch It unlatches a latched bit which was set by an OTL instruction. The address for this instruction should be identical to the OTL address that originally set the bit.
Addressing
Addresses are made up of alphanumeric characters separated by delimiters. Delimiters include the colon, period, and slash. Where:-
Data File Type ; Data files contain the status information associated with external I/O and all other instructions used in ladder program.
Control Box ; Defines the instruction is connected to Number which control box.(starts with numerical 0 and onwards for each controller)
Number/Word ; Identifies the number of the external I/O or other instructions used.

Downloading a ladder logic
Create a ladder logic or desired program
Example: 1 Insert an instruction on a rung, click ; a normally open
contact appears on the rung.
2 The instruction just placed is an input. To assign the data file type to it, double-click on the normally open contact placed and enter "I1:0/1"
3 Assign a symbol to the instruction, right-click the normally open contact, a menu prompts and then select Edit Symbol. Enter "PB1" and then hit the Enter key on the keyboard. (Assigning a symbol to the instruction can be used as a substitute for an address so that the instruction can be easily identified. All instructions having the same address automatically have the same symbol. A symbol is unique. The same symbol cannot be applied to different addresses. Symbols can be up to 20 characters in length.) NOTE : Anytime you right-click any element in the
ladder diagram, a menu prompts with editing options for the selected element.
4 Click the first rung number (0000) and then click the Rung
Branch icon . A new branch appears.
NOTE : When placing a branch, if the cursor is on an instruction, the branch is placed immediately to the right of the instruction. If your cursor is on the rung number, the branch is placed first on the rung. For more information about branching, please refer to the section "Branching".
5 Click the right leg of the branch and drag the leg to the right
of the "PB1" contact. A valid release point will be shown as a green rectangle on the ladder display.
6 Click on the lower left leg of the branch and then click the Examine if Closed icon . Double click and enter the address "I1:0/2".
7 Assign a symbol to the instruction, right-click the normally
open contact. A menu prompts and then select the Edit Symbol. Enter "PB2" and then hit the Enter key on the keyboard.
50
8 Click the right leg of the branch and then click on the Output
Energize icon . An output load appears. Double-click the output and enter the address "O0:0/0".
9 Assign a symbol to the instruction, right-click the normally
open contact added to the rung. A menu prompts and then select Edit Symbol. Enter "PL0" and then hit the Enter key on the keyboard.
10 The ladder logic should resemble the following figure:-
Verifying the file 1. Verify the ladder logic by clicking the Verify File icon OR click Edit, Verify File from the menu bar. 2. If the file has mistakes, the Verify Results output window
displays and gives information on mistakes or omissions occurred in the program.
i.e.:-

Restoring Factory Defaults
SLC-500 processors
Note : The Ladder Program will be lost if a processor is returned to Factory Defaults.
Note : If a memory module that has been configured for auto load is installed, after performing a reset. The old program will be restored into the processor RAM memory.
SLC 500 Fixed I/O 1. Remove Power 2. Open CPU Compartment ( Series C units can not be factory reset ) 3. Disconnect Battery 4. Remove Memory Module ( 1747-M1 ) Skip step 4 if a Memory Module is not
Installed. 5. Locate RAM (IC3) 6. Connect Pins 14 and 28 (PWR & GND) with paper clip.

SLC 500 ( 5/03, 5/04 & 5/05 ) 1. Remove Power 2. Remove CPU Module 3. Remove Memory Module ( EEPROM )- 1747-M1
( Skip step 3 if a Memory Module is not Installed ) 4. Disconnect Battery 5. Locate the GND & VBB points on the back side of the processor module. 6. Using a small flat blade screw driver short the GND & VBB points for
60 Seconds. IMPORTANT : Jumper JW4 on the processor must be set to the PROTECT position.
