A couple of cautions when using RSEmulate or SoftLogix as hardware emulators. Both packages (RSEmulate5000 is a cut-down version of SoftLogix) use slot 0 as a 'RSLinx Comms' slot, and therefore cannot be used in your 'target' project without moving modules around. Parameter passing in JSR/SBR/RET is processed in reverse order! Mostly this is of no consequence but if you are passing a whole tag into a subroutine, then passing attributes to load into it, it will not work as expected, and you will have to modify the order for the emulator/softlogix, and then put it back for the target controller. Little man program code. Not an easy task when you have a couple hundred JSRs to handle valves, pumps etc.
The official answer I got from A-B when I complained about it was (paraphrased) '.the developers of SoftLogix did not have a specification to work to, so they are not wrong.' Perhaps, but you can't put the Controller in Slot 0, which it may need to be in your target application. I guess what echos would like to do is take a current controller application, change the controller type to SoftLogix, run it to test it, then change controller type back again. This doesn't work at all, changing controller type moves the controller from slot 0, and you can't put it back.

Softlogix Vs Emulate
He will end up messing about with the application so much to get it to run in SoftLogix, you he'll wish he'd begged, stolen, or borrowed the hardware.
