I'm a bit late on reading this thread...but yes, it was Micrologix. RSlogix isnt too bad to spin up on, but then again I was using the older version from AB....for the SLC500 bricks....can't recall the name but it fit on 2 floppy's :-) Interesting to see that there are a few of us on this list that write PLC programs as well as PIC code. I actually enjoyed the Panelview development, too bad I couldnt spend more time on it to really make it cool....but.....they needed to ship the stuff out, so they got a functional interface. Xiaofan....did you change employers? I thought you were working for the German outfit but now your working for Rockwell? Maybe thats why you were here visiting some time ago, for the training.

I think it is $2500 if you don't buy the Networx bundle. I was able to become halfway proficient with it in a week or so. I was already quite famalier with the RSLogix 500 for SLC and MicroLogix, though.
