The “Full” version of RSLogix 5000 has all the features of the “Standard” edition, but also includes the Multi-Language Pack (PN# 9324-RLDMLPE) adding Function Block Diagram (FBD,) Structured Text (ST,) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) programming languages, as well as Phase Manager (PN# 9324-RLDPME) and PIDE Autotuner (PN# 9323-ATUNEENE, works with v16 or higher.) Sequential Function Chart language example Recently, it has been enhanced to also include a copy of RSLogix Architect (PN# 9326-LGXARCHENE.) While you can purchase the other languages (FBD, SFC, ST) separately as add-ons, I recommend looking at the next package, RSLogix 5000 Full, before making a decision. The original version of RSLogix 5000, the “Standard” edition supports “Ladder Logic” programming of all Logix based processors, including ControlLogix, CompactLogix, FlexLogix, DriveLogix, and SoftLogix.

The “Lite” edition of RSLogix 5000 is identical to the “Mini” edition in the fact that it can only program the “ CompactLogix” family of programmable controllers, but also includes the Multi-Language Pack (PN# 9324-RLDMLPE) adding Function Block Diagram (FBD,) Structured Text (ST,) and Sequential Function Chart (SFC) programming languages. While you can purchase the other languages (FBD, SFC, ST) separately as add-ons, its often cheaper to buy the next package, RSLogix 5000 Lite. The “Mini” edition of RSLogix 5000 only programs the “ CompactLogix” family of controllers, and only in the “Ladder Logic” programming language. Also note that if you need versions prior to 20.05 you will need to purchase the Legacy option. Update for 2022:Over the last nine years the below prices has gone up quite a bit, but Rockwell now offers the option of leasing the software via an annual subscription here (you must be logged in with a free account to view prices ,) and I'll include the new annual lease price as of 02/26/22 in red. Connections and Students often ask which package of RSLogix / Studio 5000 they should buy, and in the article I'll attempt to answer that question.
