Ge fanuc plc uses software called "versa pro" or there is a newer software you can use called "cimplicity machine edition" I have used both. I think Cimplicity is better because you can work on your plc and hmi in the same software.
You can go to a website called http://www.plcs.net/, then if you click on downloads it takes you to a screen that has a list of plc companies (click on allen bradley). Then it will take you to the next page which shows a list of sample programs (scroll and you will find one saying "sequencer"
