The user interface provides a common, modern user experience across all Studio 5000 applications, and includes software for programming Allen Bradley Logix family of programmable controllers. Additionally, the RSLogix software enables users to develop ladder logic programs on a PC, transfer them to and from a PLC, and monitor PLC operations. A one-station license is included.

The 82-800 software is used with the following training systems:

• PLC Troubleshooting Learning System – AB ControlLogix | 890-AB5500
• Foundation Fieldbus Process Control 1 Learning System – AB L16 | T5552-FF1A

The Studio 5000 Mini PLC Programming Software (82-8RSM), which is also available exclusively for the education sector, features the same cutting-edge design software as the 82-800 in a more traditional, direct version. While corresponding learning systems can be used with either software, Amatrol recommends the 82-8RSM version be used with the following training systems:

• Mechatronics Learning System – AB CompactLogix L16 | 870-AB53A
• Skill Boss Logistics | 95-MSB3
• Portable PLC Learning System – AB CompactLogix L16 | 990-PAB53A
• Portable PLC Troubleshooting Learning System – AB CompactLogix L16 | 990-PAB53AF
• Portable PLC Troubleshooting Learning System – AB CompactLogix | 990-PABCL1F

The Smart Factory Tabletop Mechatronics System also allows you to add various options to customize your system to teach the specific skills your students need. For example, one popular option for the Smart Factory Tabletop Mechatronics System is the Stepper Motor Programming Package.
