Rockwell Automation has a reputation of charging for their PLC programming software, and that's true for most of the packages that program their Programmable Controllers. However, RA does make several software packages available free of charge, and I'll detail those over the next two days. We’ll start at the Rockwell Software Downloads page’s “” link, where several packages are available. Below I’ll highlight those which I believe are the most useful: 1) (CCW) free programming software for the Micro800, PowerFlex, and PanelView Component: This free software is three programming packages in one. First and foremost, this is the software package you use to program Rockwell's Micro800 family of programmable controllers. But it also contains the Allen-Bradley PanelView Component programming software, as well as a new editor to configure Rockwell Automation drives, including the new PowerFlex 525. ![]() Version 4 has so many new features that I would highly recommend upgrading to it if you have a previous version. As CCW requires a fairly current version of RSLinx and ControlFlash, both are included in this large download which you can find using this link: • You can also obtain this software on DVD via an online form, or from most Rockwell Automation and RA Authorized Distributor offices. 2) ( under free downloads) free upload / download transfer tool for the PanelView Plus. This utility allows you to upload and download runtime files (.mer) to and from PanelView Plus terminals. While it comes with all versions of FactoryTalk ViewStudio, is it also freely available here in the downloads section. Please note, while this utility does require RSLinx Enterprise and FactoryTalk Applications Platform, both are included in this download which you'll find after selecting “Free Downloads” 3) The latest version of RA's communication driver used with most of it's products is now easier to download than ever before. Communication Settings for Allen Bradley (Micrologix 1000). RSLinx and RSLOGIX Software Configure Micrologix 1000 PLC 1). Then download the. Whereas the old free software only programmed the 10 Point MicroLogix 1000. Download the software. These old PLC.
