Studio Logix Emulate 34.0

Studio 5000 Logix Emulate by Rockwell Automation, Inc. is a software-based controller emulator that lets you develop, test, and validate Logix applications without physical Allen‑Bradley hardware. It provides a safe, cost-effective environment to verify logic, sequences, alarms, and communications before commissioning, helping teams catch issues early and reduce downtime.

Key capabilities include:

• Emulation of ControlLogix and CompactLogix controller behavior for projects created in Studio 5000 Logix Designer, including ladder diagram, function block diagram, structured text, and sequential function chart.
• Realistic testing with support for tasks and scan cycles, forces, online edits, trends, and multiple concurrent virtual controllers.
• Seamless integration with FactoryTalk View and other HMIs through standard Rockwell communication drivers (e.g., FactoryTalk Linx/RSLinx) for end-to-end system testing.
• Flexible use cases such as offline development, FAT and SAT, operator training, and virtual commissioning, with the ability to connect to simulated I/O or plant models.

While it does not replace hardware-level performance testing—especially for motion and high-speed I/O—it significantly accelerates development, improves quality, and de-risks deployment by enabling thorough validation of control strategies in a virtual environment.
