Hello;
Do you have the Versapro software? If so there is extensive online help. The main difference between RsLogix and Versapro is that Versapro is more drag and drop oriented. Also the ladder window (upper left window in the default) is sectioned into "cells". One cell can hold one contact for instance. If you drag and drop a contact over an existing one, the existing one is overwritten.
Like RsLogix, Versapro has both online and offline modes. In order to do much of anything online, the logic in Versapro must be equal to that in the PLC. You can make the logic equal be downloading the program for the PLC or uploading the program in Versapro.
