As I said before, it's the only tool known to man capable of programming Rockwell PLC's, so if any colleague needed to program one I 100% would recommend it. So, this software is appropiate only when using Rockwell PLC's. As far as I know it would program any other brand.

Cons
  • Valor NPI licenses: we are working with Siemens to resolve the issue that Siemens doesn't check out the "command-line" Valor NPI Xpedition license when running Valor checking from Xpedition Designer.
  • Valor Process Prep: we discovered a defect in the product. Currently waiting for a fix.
  • Rule checking: Too many false positives.

Studio 5000 is a good product. Compared to Omrom's CX-Programmer feels more advanced and with more functions, altough that depends on the PLC being programmed. I choose Studio 5000 because there are no other options when programming Rockwell PLC's

  • Well, there is one customer that only uses Rockwells PLC's, so I could say that Studio 5000 is a must have and a good percent of the bussiness depends on it.
