- In this video, I'm explaining EVERYTHING including:
- downloading WinRAR
- extracting archives
- installing RSLogix Micro, RSLinx and Emulate
- configuration the software to run ad administrator
- setting up the emulation driver
- creating an EXTREMELY basic program
- loading it onto Emulate
- simulating the program and going online with it
- unloading programs from Emulate
This is a helper video for PLC programming students of mine. To check out my courses, visit my automation training website:

Thank you so much for the fantastic step by step tutorial on how to install the software. It helps me a lot to do it and it works properly. I can sleep well and study the next slide.😁
@@robloxgamer4752 Just don't spend your whole weekend on it. Get out and PLAY some! 😎
Finally. You made this video. Much needed
Man, I have just started Course Level 2 and I wish I had watched this video first. I struggled getting the three progra,ms to work together until I followed setup in this vid. Thanks, now I will sleep better.
And the best part of it is that this was probably the very LEAST you'll struggle through the rest of Level 2! 😀
Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial, I am glad i bought part 1 and 2, hope I can get through them succesfully and go on with part 3,4,5. You explain everthing clearly. I was worried when I couldn't wrap my head around installing the software, one wrong click and everything is f-ed up , but now I feel more confindent in pursuing your course.
Thx again!
No worries, my friend, you'll do just fine. But Level 2 is hard as hell, so get ready for that! The rest are pretty smooth sailing. ⛵
This video is very helpful, I got stucked trying to install the simulator following the PDF installation material provided on the course content. Thanks Paul, you did a great job👍
Very glad to hear it helped!! 🐸
thank you so much for this video. extremely helpful. currently in an engineering apprenticeship and this course has been super helpful for me.
I'm real glad to hear that it helped!!
Very well explained. Thank-you. I like that you modernized it, like referencing the 1100 Series B for example, vs the online course. Looking forward to taking additional courses.
It was long overdue! 😆
I really appreciate the time you took to explain this. I was confused as to what options I needed to install (when all the hard-drives appear, it's really confusing to decide what to install as there are so many options), and to the order in which each one of the software packages are supposed to be installed. Apparently none of that matters from what you showed in this video. In any event, thank you very much. I'll attempt to install the software and see how it goes.
I hope you're one of the lucky ones who has an easy time of it! 🤠
Easy to follow and understand👍
Thank you Paul, the explanations are excellent !
Abdennour from Udemy
Glad it helped!!
thanks alot mr paul that was amazing ...i cant wait ..i want to reach lvl 5 :)
It's a painfully long course, but you'll create something AMAZING! 🤗
I like the way you explain. Thank you
Happy to do it, my friend!
Best PLC courses!
Wow great video and easy to follow along to. Everything works Thanks
Awesome Sr
thank you so much ! i have been learning a lot, also practicing my english dude, ! thanks again
Very glad you're enjoying the ride so far, my friend! 🤠
At 17:58 on emulate am not getting that pop up table it dosent show anything ... can u help me with that
I'm not sure what "pop up table" you're refering to. When you load a valid 500 program, you should get a window where you can provide a station number (which should be 1). If that window isn't appearing, make sure of the following:
1) You created and started your SLC500 driver in RSLinx.
2) You created a valid 500 program, verified it and saved it.
3) You loaded that file into Emulate.
4) You didn't get any error messages when installing or running any of the three programs.
Thank you for that. I was about to send you an email :) ...I have to disable my windows security because the links in your course did not work. now is all ok. Thanks!
Hello sir, im in course 1 and in program setup video i cant able to see other compatible but only 1000 series, how to get 1400 series? even tho i followed all steps you provided in pdf as well as in this video
In course 1, if you'll go back to section 1, lecture 2 ("Software and Course Notes") and give it a read, it will explain this and SO MUCH MORE.
When i try to run the program using who active go online command and clicking ok on communication pop up window it shows failed to open document ( file is corrupt ot user does not have access right to open project). Why is that?
It sounds like you might not be running ALL THREE apps as Administrator.
@PaulLynn In this video, you have taught us how to get RSLogix 500 setup and install and its working but in your courses, you have shown RSLogix 500 pro which is not have similar specifications as like that. in you PLC fundamental level-1 lecture 34, you have added a CPU which is not available in this software which we have installed then how could we that same like you and can implement what we have learnt from you. Kindly help
Heya! Lecture 2 of the course (the same place where you most likely found the link to this video) explains all of that. You just have to keep reading.
Hi Paul, do i need to remove any permissions or secuirity from my system while installing. the RSLinx file has stopped installing at something called "Redundancy configuration tool".
I totally HATE to say it, but when you run into that error, you've got about three options:
1) Reinstall Windows (which sucks!)
2) Use a different computer (which isn't great)
3) Create a VM and install the software into that (best plan)
But that generally happens when either something's broken / missing / corrupted in your Windows OR you've already got some incompatible Rockwell products installed on your machine.
@@PaulLynn Thank you for your quick reply. i will go through these options and try to find the solution. have a great day!!
Thanks, Paul for the helpful video. I followed your steps and everything worked well, but I noticed that at the end RSLinx Classic didn't give me the "Exit and shutdown" option, so I clicked the Exit button. Is this a problem and if so what should I do?
Also, Factory Talk Services take up RAM and uses CPU even when I don't program is there any way to manage this?
How you get out of RSLinx shouldn't matter as long as it's not left running and sucking up system resources when you're not using it.
The best way to manage Rockwell software is to keep it on a VM. It's so bad for so many reasons that that's what most PLC programmers end up doing. 😆
@@PaulLynn Thank you for your helpful and quick answer 😃. I'll take it into account.
@@baqaritoradze4866 Have a great weekend! 👻
Hello Man, recently i have joined the course and i have downloaded the plc file and extracted. but couldn't find the RSLinx and RSLogix Micro
@@soorajsunil6301 As explained in lecture 2 (the same place where you downloaded the files from):
"USE WinRAR to extract the archive! Sometimes people open the file and see a different (sub)set of files than what is shown in the video / PDF. This happens when they try to open / extract PLC.rar with something other than WinRAR. So - use WinRAR. It's fantastic!"
Yes thank you
HELLO, i have downloaded the software. as you mentioned in the video i made that simple program in micro and tried the verify and i got error. what i can do with that
@@soorajsunil6301 Well, I guess that would depend a LOT on what the error is, right? For example - is it one of the MANY errors that's already been addressed in lecture 2?
@@PaulLynn No this error is about invalid direct file offset
The RSLinx classic did not pop up when I opened the Rockwell Software folder could you assist me on what I did wrong?(RSLogix Emulate500 and RSLogix Micro English were there just not RSlinx Classic)
If you download the (rar) archive from lecture 2 of the course and extract it fully using WinRAR, it'll definitely be there. 😉
Hi Mr Paul, RSLinx classic 2.57.00 cpr9 sr3 couldn't be install on my laptop. noting that ii already downloaded it but once it comes for installation couldn't. it say to wait for insulation but nothing happened after that even after 1 hour, i waited a lot for installation but nothing happened next 😭. Could u help me with this, please. to add more noting that the 2 other app "platform " already installed them. but this one "RSLinx classic 2.57.00 cpr9 sr3" cant.
When that happens, your best bet is to either use a different computer, reinstall Windows or (best option) use a VM for this software.
Hi Paul, I was able to successfully install RSLinx Classic and also RSLogix Micro English.
But as for the emulate even though I tried installing it multiple time (going through the setup clicking next and all) still it hasn't been installed in my pc. Please help.
It says The wizard was interrupted before RSLogix Emulate could be completely installed.
Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, ease run setup again.
Pls help.
That's bad news! It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's not usually something we can fix. Email me, and I'll tell you what we can do to get you going. (My email address is in lecture 3 if the course.)
Hi Mate I get a key register error while installing emulate 500 dose this matter
You remember that file called "readme" contained within the archive you downloaded? Well... you might want to read it. 😁
Sir we downloaded this software in ua udemy course bt ua doing in 1400 we have 1100 I'm completely new in this course and I'm getting confused and it hv 16 bit IO yours was kinda advanced options
I understand what happened. You didn't read lecture 2, and now you're getting confused.
First thing you want to do is: read lecture 2. There, you will find things ESSENTIAL to getting through the course without frustration. You'll find useful information such as:
- which processor you should be using instead of the 1400.
- why your software looks different from mine.
- a procedure of how to create a program and run it.
- where to find answers to questions that have already been asked a thousand times (like this one) within SECONDS.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Ya soo now what next I'm getting what ua saying n d classes step-by-step bt now I'm getting confused because of change in software soo can u help me or shd i just wanna continue
@@harshithranganath1134 You're still confused about the software? Did you read Lecture 2?
If so, which question did it not answer for you? If not, WHY not?
14) "There's no 1400 in my list of processors" In the course you'll see me programming a MicroLogix 1400 which the Micro version of RSLogix doesn't support. No big deal. :-) Just set your projects up using the 1100B processor, and you'll be able to follow along exactly the same.
It means i can continue further classes by selecting 1100B i get it thankyou sir
I try to install those software when i try to run i got error 😂 not understanding how to install could you like to help me ?
Certainly. Is the error you got not addressed in Lecture 2?
Not addressed in the lecture
If the error isn't addressed in lecture 2 of the course, then email me as per lecture 3 of the course, and I'll get you straightened out. Easy!@@MSSinHGR
hi, Can you send me a link to this file or how can i get it as I'm interested in this area.

HI, newbie here.. problem installing the rslogix emulator 500, the wizard was interrupted before rslogix emulator 500 6.00.00 (cpr9) could be completely installed. anyone can help. thank you
Here's the exact same reply I sent you to the exact same question you emailed me. Let me know where else you've asked it, and I'll try to get you answered in those places as well:
That happens sometimes, and there's not a clear solution when it does.
1) Make sure you've extracted the archive before installing
2) Run the install file as Administrator
3) Removing your Rockwell programs, folders and registry entries and then rebooting fixes this SOMETIMES
4) Using a VM is an excellent solution
5) Reinstalling Windows it using a different computer are options
hello sir.at 18:24 why at my computer doesnt showing that thing and its just blank.Pls help me
But when i just click on GO ONLINE option instead of GO ACTIVE WHO ONLINE
And its works as usual
At 18:24, you should see an empty, grey app window filling most of the screen for about two seconds before it is populated. If you see something different, you'll need to troubleshoot your browser / app / connection.
Sir, it shows can't emulate, after clicking go to online and my program
Have you tried running ALL THREE programs as Administrator?
@@PaulLynn no sir, I installed everything without giving run as administrator
@@hanishthegreat1820 Try that and see what happens...
Hello paul, my rslynx classic after i click rswho doesnt show up any options what should i fix?
i dont have the option "workstation BEASTBOX" i really want to learn PLC but this is stopping me
@@akbarhidayat5755 Well, you definitely SHOULDN'T have BEASTBOX appearing on your computer. That's MY computer's name, and you aren't working on my computer, so we're good there. Did you add and start the SLC500 driver? Do you have a project open in Emulate? If either of those is a "no," then that's what you've skipped. Also, if you got any errors while launching any of the three programs, then you need to run all three as Administrator.
@@PaulLynn ive followed your instruction just like in the video, in rslynx its blank white after i clicked rswho.
Update: i tried in rslogix micro to go online instead of choosing "who active go online" it works. Because when i choose "who active go online" its blank
@@akbarhidayat5755 Sweet! Glad you got it working. 🤩
@@PaulLynn thank you for replying :)
Please give me complete course on PLC SCADA and HMI

I have been trying to install RSLinx Classic but it has been showing , This install requires that FactoryTalk Diagnostics 2.30(CPR 9 SR 3)(or compatible version) be installed first. Please install it from the CD.
That happens on occasion, and it's NEVER good! Make sure you've extracted your installation files from the archive, that they're somewhere low-security (like your Desktop), and that your launching the correct setup file as Administrator.
Assuming all that's right and the problem persists, your options fall between using a different computer, reinstalling Windows or using a VM (best option) instead.
@@PaulLynn Hey Paul, I have the same situation, I've built a VM (Linux because that's what the tutorial called for) and it still isn't wanting to work, so my question is, is there any other work around? Should my next step be to use another computer? TIA
@@adamv9622 You can use the VM from Level 3 which already has the software installed, configured and working great. Email me, and I'll send you the link.
@@PaulLynn Hi Paul I found a work-around for this issue when installing RsLinx.. I tried installing RsLinx Classic 2.59 from Section 2 instead and that worked for me so might be potential solution for others.. Thanks
@@andrewzarour741 I've tried that a few times in the past, and I had no luck. When I tried, they both failed similarly. But maybe it'll at least work for some people! Glad it did for you...
hi paul...it keep saying this file is corrupted
I can't even begin to guess which file or program you might be working with. But:
- if you can't extract the archive, try redownloading it and extracting it with WinRAR.
- if your installation is failing, make sure you've extracted it from the archive BEFORE installing.
- if you're running the programs, make sure you're running ALL THREE as Administrator.
If you're having some other problem, you'll have to be more specific. Sorry, but I'm terrible at playing the guessing game!
@@PaulLynn hi mr paul..i did all the step but when i run the RSE MULATE file as an admistration it says error connot found file ....idk why...all the step is done except the last one
@@anatimk2308 Let's do an AeroAdmin session and I'll take a look:
