A Quick Tutorial on RSLogix Emulator 5000
RSLogix Emulator 5000 is a software simulator for the Allen Bradley line of Logix 5000 controllers (ControlLogix®, CompactLogix®, FlexLogix®, SoftLogix5800® and DriveLogix®).  The goal is to mimic the function of a PLC without the actual hardware and thus do advanced debugging.  More information can be found in the AB publication LGEM5K-GR015A-EN-P.
As a quick introduction we’ll go through a simple example of setting up a simulation.  This involves three major steps.
1. Setting up the chassis monitor. 建立机架
2. Creating a connection in RSLinx. 在RSlinx建立连接
3. Creating a project with associated emulation hardware. 创建带虚拟控制器的项目
Setting up the Chassis Monitor
To start the Chassis Monitor, click Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > RSLogixEmulate 5000 > RSLogix Emulate 5000 Chassis Monitor.
 
When the emulator opens up you’re confronted with what looks like an empty chassis.  In slot 0 is an RSLinx module which has to be there for the emulator communications to work.  Your slot 1 might have another irremovable RSLinx module depending if you are running RSLogix Enterprise.
 
From here we set up our hardware configuration for simulation.  Our first step will be to add the CPU.  In this case it is a special one called an Emulation Controller.
1. flex软件Click Slot > Create Module.
2. Choose the Emulator RSLogix Emulate 5000 Controller.
3. Chose slot 2 for the controller
4. Click OK to add it to the chassis monitor.
5. At this point you may be accosted with a message about previous configurations.  Just select Reset the Configuration to Default Values and click NEXT.
6. The next two dialog screens are for setting up the controller details.  Click NEXT and FINISH to accept all the defaults.
Next we’ll add some input/output simulation.
1. Click Slot > Create Module.
2. Choose the 1789-SIM 32 Point Input/Output Simulator.
3. Chose slot 3 for the simulator and click OK.
4. Accept the defaults for the setup by clicking NEXT and FINISH.
The chassis monitor will now have two emulation modules in it ready to go. 
Creating a connection in RSLinx
1. Start RSLinx under Start > Programs > Rockwell Software > RSLinx > RSLinx Classic
2. Click Communications > Configure Drivers.
3. Select the Virtual Backplane (SoftLogix 58xx) driver from the Available Driver Types list.
4. Click Add New. The Add New RSLinx Driver dialog box appears. Click OK.
5. The new driver appears in the Configured Drivers list. Click Close.
Using RSLogix Emulator in a Project
To use the emulator in a project you must setup the hardware correctly.
1. Start the RSLogix 5000 software and create a new project.
