📌 PC Requirements

(Please Read Before Registering)

 

Your computer must be able to run RSLogix Micro Starter Lite, RSLinx, the Emulator, and Zoom at the same time.

​

A dedicated Windows PC is strongly recommended. Older or shared computers often freeze, lag, or crash when running these programs together.

Your PC should be able to:

• Run RSLogix + RSLinx + Emulator + Zoom without freezing

• Keep Zoom video stable

• Switch smoothly between ladder logic and the instructor’s screen

• Stay responsive during hands‑on exercises

Before class, please close:

• Web browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.)

• Email programs (after you join Zoom)

• Any apps you don’t need

Leaving only RSLogix, RSLinx, the Emulator, and Zoom open keeps your computer fast and stable.

​

Important Note

By registering, you acknowledge that your computer meets these requirements. If your PC crashes or can’t keep up, that’s not something I can fix during class — and it can slow down the pace for everyone.

⭐ BIG Reason for a Dedicated PC (For Students Who Want to Advance)

If you plan to continue learning PLCs, a dedicated PC becomes even more important. You’ll eventually build your own training kit using RSLogix 500, and that same PC will also be used later for Micro800 or Studio 5000 (Logix Designer).

​

A dedicated PC keeps your training environment clean, avoids software conflicts, and supports your growth from MicroLogix → Micro800 → Studio 5000 without headaches.
