I have an annoying problem. I'm trying to emulate a plc to test an RSView HMI. I had RSLogix Emulate and heard SoftLogix should be better, so i installed SoftLogix. When installing i had to uninstall Emulate because they are incompatible. Now, i can't start SoftLogix because it says: 'Could not determine which modules are present in the chassis.
Hi guys, I've just installed SoftLogix to do some testing with a few drives. It seems to be working nicely so far, but there's one annoying thing it does - every time my computer starts, it automatically sets RSLinx to run as a service, and starts the SoftLogix service as well.

You have to build the rack in the SoftLogix Chassis Monitor and then build the rack in RSLogix to match. SoftLogix Chassis modules must be removed'. How am i going to get out of this? Which can create/monitor/debug/online edit etc. Applications for ControlLogix.

Sorry but I can't personally help you with your 'installation' problem - because I've never worked with either RSLogix Emulate or SoftLogix. But here's a thought.
Why do you need either one of those packages to 'test an RSView HMI' application? I've always had EXCELLENT results from using the following technique.
Suppose that you're animating a display of a tank to show the liquid level rising and falling based on a numerical value in the PLC. Suppose that the tag is named TANK_LEVEL. Instead of setting this up as a 'Device' type tag, just set it up (temporarily) as a 'Memory' type tag.
Now while you're working on your graphics, etc. Just put a small (temporary) 'Numeric Input' object on your window - and tie that to the TANK_LEVEL tag. Now you can manually enter any value that you desire into the tag - and check out the operation of your screen animation. You can get fancier of course by using a temporary horizontal or vertical 'slider' to more easily change the value. Fancier yet: try using the same types techniques used in the RSView 'Samples' application. Specifically, check out how the value of the tag 'Automotive Motion' is automatically incremented in the 'Derived Tags' section under 'Logic and Control'. Basic idea: whatever software you're trying to use to 'emulate' the PLC is probably going to take at least as much trouble (if not MORE) to properly simulate a series of variables as the techniques I'm recommending.
Of course after the initial design work is done, you'll still have to reassign your tags from 'Memory' to 'Device' before you put the system into operation in the field - but as long as you work systematically and carefully, that shouldn't be too hard to do. In SOME cases you can actually go ahead and assign your tags directly as 'Device' type and use the same techniques I've mentioned to manually adjust the values during the development phase of your project. Try experimenting with a few tags to get started.
Secret handshake: USUALLY you can go to the 'Node' setup screen and temporarily turn off the 'Enabled' checkbox. Then you can USUALLY manually adjust the tag values yourself.
Large Control Systems
ControlLogix Control Systems
ControlLogix control systems use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide high performance in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller, and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. You can perform standard and safety control in the same chassis for a truly integrated system. Leverage the high-availability and extreme environment capabilities to meet your application needs.
GuardPLC Safety Control Systems
GuardPLC Safety Control Systems offer superior speed in PLC throughput and network functionality. These controllers meet worldwide PLC standards and global standards for functional safety. This family is ideal for sensing speed, direction, zero-speed, temperature, pressure and flow applications. These controllers communicate on a Safe Ethernet communications network that is TÜV-certified for use in safety applications up to EN954 Category 4 and SIL 3.
SoftLogix Control Systems
Softlogix Chassis Monitor Download
Bulletin 1789 SoftLogix Control Systems are based on the Logix platform and seamlessly integrate machine control, motion control, and information processing. They take the control functions normally found in dedicated programmable controllers, encapsulate those functions in software and run them on a commercial operating system. The multi-tasking operating system allows you to prioritize 32 configurable tasks.
1785 PLC-5 Controllers
Rockwell Automation announces that as of June 2017, the PLC-5 Control System will be discontinued and no longer available for sale. Customers are encouraged to migrate from the PLC-5 Control System to the ControlLogix Control System.
Small Control Systems
CompactLogix Control Systems
CompactLogix and Compact GuardLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide mid-range application control in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. This commonality provides cost-effective integration of a machine or safety application into a plant-wide control system because it integrates safety, motion, discrete and drive capabilities in a single controller.
SLC 500 Controllers
Bulletin 1747 SLC 500 controllers provide a range of choices in memory, I/O capacity, instruction set, and communication ports to let you tailor a control system to your exact application requirements. The controllers have a strong reliability history covering hundreds of thousands of installations in a broad range of applications.

CompactLogix and Compact GuardLogix controllers use a common control engine with a common development environment to provide mid-range application control in an easy-to-use environment. Tight integration between the programming software, controller and I/O modules reduces development time and cost at commissioning and during normal operation. This commonality provides cost-effective integration of a machine or safety application into a plant-wide control system because it integrates safety, motion, discrete and drive capabilities in a single controller.
Chassis-Based I/O
Chassis-based I/O is specifically designed for a particular Allen-Bradley controller, as part of its family. You can install the I/O locally in the same chassis as the controller. Additionally, through the use of I/O communication networks, you can distribute the I/O closer to the sensors and actuators, reducing your wiring costs.
