V17 provides ability to export Programs, Phases,Routines, AOIs, UDTs, String Types and Trends.

Similar to the V13 LD Rung Partial Import/Export

Includes support for FBD, SFC and ST

The export .L5X file includes all pertinent information

Program configuration, code, user defined data-types,tags and descriptions

XML formatted ASCII text file

Distribute code separately from the RSLogix 5000Project .ACD file

The file can be manipulated and even created by othertools

Create larger libraries of reusable code

Provides more control over the scope of what will beextracted from the project

Useful for larger machine, cell or unit control

Promotes standardization and reuse

V17 Provides ability to import Programs, Routinesand NEW Add-on Instructions on-line with a runningcontroller

NEW programs, routines and add-on instructions can beadded

Existing Programs and routines can be replaced

New tags and UDTs are created as needed

Name collisions are detected automatically and userprompted to rename or bind to existing components

The data values in the controller are maintained and newtags will have their values initialized from the import file

Changes or additions to a project can be completedoffline and then imported into a running controller. ...vs. on-line editing where you must be connected and tags

needed to be created manually (= time-consuming for largeedits)

#$

Provides a listing of all (referenced) components which will be imported and whether they

conflict with existing components already in the running project.

Allows you to resolve conflicts when collisions occur.

%&'$$!

Engineering collaboration is facilitated in that many engineers can work, on one or more

of the project components, independently offline and then merge the changes into a

single project by using import.

Two ways of handling a project with engineering collaboration: Working with a base project and update the base file on a time or change base (see next).

Programmers keeps working on their own project and regularly update it with modifications other usersmake and distribute (export L5X files).

Considerations with multi-user editing: Partial Import/Download (rungs, routines, programs, equipment phase, UDTs, AOIs, strings, trends). Security (avoid others to change the components you are working on)

Define working area references

Impact of changes (when to merge projects)

Tag naming (name collisions are detected on import)

Aliasing (program now and link afterwards)

1. Copy base file to each programmer (in this case 4 programmers).

2. Each programmer copies the file and makes his changes.3. After changes, compare projects with the local copy of the base file to check what has changed and to ensure no changes will

be forgotten to export. Comparing to the local file gives the programmers the opportunity to work independent.

4. Export the changed code to L5X files. Only these files (differences between the projects) needs to be imported into the final

project. There is no need to import all programs! Keep in mind that also rungs can be exported still containing all references.

5. When all changed code is gathered into L5X files, these files can be imported into one project (in this case of programmer 4).This doesnt always have to be the same project file. Depending on what has changed (motion, safety, consumed/produced

tags, hardware ), another changed project can be used to import all the changes into. This could be handled by one person.

6. When all changes are merged into one project, this project will become the new base file and can be copied again.

Forcing and Toggle Bit Added to Quick WatchWindow

In this version of RSLogix 5000, we have portedthe Force Mask available in the Tag Monitor

dialog also into the Quick Watch window Additionally, we have added the ability to toggle

bits in the Quick Watch window

Improves ease of use and reduces stepsrequired to force and toggle tags

CPS (Copy Synchronize), UID, UIE (User Interrupt Disable/Enable) and IOT (Immediate Output) change themultitasking System Overhead Time Slice The time the controller spends on CPU overhead (running its background tasks like communications,

messaging, ASCII) is relative to the time it runs the continuous task.

It is given by the Systen Overhead Time Slice (default 20%)

The minimum allotment of execution time is 1 msec.

#+%

Minimize number of tasks

Use as many different priorities as possible to avoid timesharing: multiple tasks with the same priority will run in 1ms time slices switching between

the tasks until they have completed execution task switching also costs execution time

Do not unnecessarily execute code

use conditional JSR or inhibits

Use GSV/SSV to do in code what you can also do in RSLogix

Avoid / dont abuse task overlaps
