Preface

This manual shows how to program message (MSG) instructions to and from

Logix 5000™ controllers. This manual is one of a set of related manuals that show

common procedures for programming and operating Logix 5000™ controllers.

For a complete list of common procedures manuals, refer to the Logix 5000

Controllers Common Procedures Programming Manual, publication 1756-

PM001.

•The term Logix 5000 controller refers to any controller that is based on the

Logix 5000 operating system.

The Studio 5000 Automation Engineering & Design Environment® combines

engineering and design elements into a common environment. The first element is

the Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application. The Logix Designer application is

the rebranding of RSLogix 5000® software and will continue to be the product to

program Logix 5000™ 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. The Studio 5000

environment is the one place for design engineers to develop all elements of their

control system.
