RSLogix 5000 Module Profile Setup Utility 4.5

RSLogix 5000 Module Profile Setup Utility

Developer: Rockwell Software, Inc.

Description: The RSLogix 5000 Module Profile Setup Utility is a support tool for installing and updating module profiles (Add-On Profiles) used by RSLogix 5000 (and later Studio 5000 Logix Designer). It ensures the programming environment recognizes specific Rockwell Automation I/O, communication, and motion modules and presents the correct configuration dialogs, parameters, and diagnostics in the project’s I/O tree. By delivering hardware support outside of full software upgrades, the utility lets teams add new module families or revisions to existing engineering workstations while maintaining compatibility with controller firmware and electronic keying.

Key capabilities:

• Installs and updates module profiles (AOPs) for ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and related Logix platforms.
• Registers profiles so new modules can be added and configured both offline and online.
• Aligns profile versions with device revisions to support proper keying and parameter sets.
• Helps standardize hardware support across multiple PCs via a consistent installer package.
• Reduces commissioning time by providing accurate defaults, dialogs, and diagnostics for supported modules.

Typical use cases:

• Adding newly released I/O or communication modules to existing projects.
• Updating profile support to match device firmware or series changes.
• Preparing engineering laptops for field work without upgrading the base programming software.

System context: Windows-based utility used alongside RSLogix 5000/Studio 5000; complements, but does not replace, EDS-based device definitions for third-party devices.
