Design, Operate, and Maintain Your Logix/Factory Talk HMI System
• Session Description
– This workshop will provide the attendees with tools and
recommendations for designing, operating, and maintaining a
Logix/FactoryTalk HMI system. A live demonstration on a running
system will show how to use the tools available to design your
system, monitor it's operational performance, and diagnose software,
hardware, and network problems. The system will include the 1756-
L7x controller, FactoryTalk View SE, I/O, a drive on EtherNet/IP, and
a Stratix 8000 switch.

Example - Anatomy of a Logix Controller
• Two 32Bit CPUs interact to perform control
– Logix CPU executes application code and performs message processing
– Backplane CPU communicates with I/O and sends and receives data from backplane
• Because this CPU is operating independently from the Logix CPU, all I/O
information is sent/received asynchronous to program execution
11
Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved.
Example From Logix Design Considerations - Logix Controller Selection Tips
• Determine the memory requirements before selecting your Logix
controller
– Considerations: I/O, Logic, Tag Data, ControlLogix Redundancy, future
application growth, Operating System changes
• Additional runtime memory usage:
– Message processing - Buffers incoming messages
– RSLinx Data Handling - Storage of tag groups
– On-Line Edits - Storage of multiple edit rungs
– Graphical Trends – Buffered data
– Tools available to help with estimation
• Equations available to estimate memory usage
• RSLogix5000 Off-line Memory Estimation capability
• Logix Selection guides provide memory and other specifications

RSLogix5000 as a Design Tool – Off-line Controller Memory Estimation
• Each controller has a different memory capacity.
Great tool to use before
purchasing controller
I/O Memory
Estimate Data / Logic
Estimate
33
Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. 34
Additional Memory used: RSLinx Example
• Application has 500 scattered integer tags
on scan using the RSLinx OPC Test Client.
– Before tags are placed on scan.
• Memory consumed = 487,544 bytes
– After tags are placed on scan.
• Memory consumed = 513,520 bytes
487,544 – 513,520 = 25,976 byte difference
or 5.3% more memory consumed by RSLinx.
Memory is consumed when RSLinx is
online and polling data.
What is RSLogix Architect?
• Provides the control system engineer a single environment for the design and management of the control system.
– Simplifies deployment & management of systems with multiple controllers
– Decreases design time and eliminates errors

RSLogix Architect System Management
What is RSLogix Architect?
• Provides the control system engineer a single environment for the design and management of the control system.
– Simplifies deployment & management of systems with multiple controllers
– Decreases design time and eliminates errors
– Synchronizes configuration with EPLAN to eliminate errors between the electrical drawings and the actual control system
– Imports from Integrated Architecture Builder the controller hardware configuration
Graphical Design Environment
• Provides a container to store Add-On Instructions (AOI) and User Defined data Types (UDT).
– Store reusable code components (AOI and UDT) in the library
– Share components across multiple controllers
– Easily search and update components in your system
– Document where in your projects the components are used
Reusable Engineering Tool
Copyright © 2011 Rockwell Automation, Inc. All rights reserved. 94
Top RSLogix Architect Capabilities
• Graphical representation of your entire control system hardware layout
• Organize and configure your entire control system
• Store, Search and Replace components across multiple controllers
• Manage produced and consumed tags
• Synchronize hardware and tags between your electrical drawings and the data in the
controllers.
