To get started, you should download the complimentary software, CCW (Connected Component Workbench), directly from Rockwell.

Is it free? Can I program with RSLogix 500 using CCW (Connected Component Workbench)? Could you please provide me with the link? According to Alan_505, you need to download the free software called CCW from Rockwell Automation. Alan, please expand for more details...

Unfortunately, the RS500 software is not compatible with your requirements; you will need to utilize CCW instead. For more information, please refer to the following link: https://www.rockwellautomation.com/global/detail.page?docid=7c028f3b448fcef185a20f4e05c5fd06. Best regards, Alan.

Is this software free? How does the Micro850 compare to the MicroLogix series PLCs? According to user Alan_505, RSLogix 500 cannot be used; instead, you must utilize Connected Components Workbench (CCW).

Hey there! Unfortunately, you won't be able to program the Micro 850 using RSLogix 500, as that software is designed for the older PLCs like the SLC 500 series. For the Micro 850, you should use Connected Components Workbench (CCW), which is specifically built for programming these more modern controllers. When starting a new project in CCW, select the 2080-LC50 as your processor type for the best compatibility. Good luck, and feel free to ask if you have more questions!
