Studio 5000 Environment
The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering and Design Environment combines
engineering and design elements into a common environment. The first element
in the Studio 5000 environment is the Logix Designer application. The Studio
5000 Logix Designer application is the rebranding of RSLogix
™
5000 software
and continues to be the product to program Logix5000 controllers for discrete,
process, batch, motion, safety, and drive-based solutions.
The Studio 5000 environment is the foundation for the future of Rockwell
Automation

engineering design tools and capabilities. This environment is the
one place for design engineers to develop all of the elements of their control
system.
