Rockwell Automation has released a security advisory to address vulnerabilities in products which use the FactoryTalk Activation Manager, including Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and improper bounds checking on incoming data. Or just spend big bucks on Professional edition which has almost everything.The purpose of this advisory is to bring attention to vulnerabilities affecting Rockwell Automation’s FactoryTalk Activation Manager Products. There was a decent guide in the Rockwell literature library but it got replaced with something that’s terrible. Then figure out if you need more than the ladder editor. Figure out if you’ll be programming CompactLogix only or ControlLogix and CompactLogix. RSLogix 5000 / Logix Designer has so many different versions and so many different add on licenses you may or may not need depending on the initial license you bought that there’s easily over a hundred possible combinations for licensing. RSLogix 5/500 has a basic version, a standard version, and a pro version. Some Logix 5000 controllers support motion. There are also Alias tags, parameter tags, produced/consumed tags. This improves programming efficiency while maintaining the ease of troubleshooting dedicated code. Add on instructions let you define repetitive code once and then instantiate it multiple times. Many more programming reusability features such as user defined data types somewhat like a data structure in traditional programming. RSLogix 5000 / Logix designer uses tag based memory. Predefined memory names called data tables in RSLogix 5/500. Find all works better in RSLogix 5/500 while cross reference works better in RSLogix 5000 / Logix Designer.
