What if you didn't need physical equipment to design and test? What if you could design faster? Then, let's introduce you to the latest iteration of a truly transformative tool - the FactoryTalk® Logix Echo v3. This modern controller emulator from Rockwell Automation ushers in a new era of digital engineering, enabling you to design, run, and test programs from virtually anywhere, with no lab needed before the design is finalized. Your team can work from anywhere because the software runs on Windows.
FactoryTalk Logix Echo Version 3 (V3) focuses on closing the loop on supporting the latest ControlLogix® controllers by introducing emulated equivalents of the Compact Logix 5380 and Compact GuardLogix® 5380 families.
The latest version provides advancement in the following development areas:
- Improved Testing
- Availability for Training
- Simplified Emulator Experience
- Flexibility
- Improved Usability
The latest version aligns with the following products:
- CompactLogix5380®
- Compact GuardLogix® 5380
- Emulate3D™
- PowerFlex®
- Kinetix®
- iTRAK®

Saving Time and Streamlining Workflows
The FactoryTalk® Logix Echo v3 connects modern controller emulation and dynamic digital twin creation with third-party simulation. This powerful trio enables you to bring your design decision-making to a whole new level, saving significant time in the design stage, and increasing efficiency in your engineering workflows.
No Hardware Required For Safety Testing with included Simulated Motion
Includes Axis Test Mode for safety support to continue testing and validating the safety control code for CIP Motion Axes without a physical controller and drive and motor.
Real-time Program Testing and Optimization
What if you could run your program, pause or slow down time, and reset testing instantly to a specific part of your program? This is now possible with FactoryTalk® Logix Echo v3. You can validate, test, and optimize your control logic without the need for physical hardware. This not only saves time but significantly reduces your cost, while improving performance.
Case Studies for Success
FactoryTalk® Logix Echo has already proven its worth in real-world scenarios. A material handling firm used it to simulate hundreds of different control strategies, which laid the groundwork for continual improvement. A major system integrator also benefited by using FactoryTalk® Logix Echo for support requests, which saved them the time and money required to recreate scenarios with physical PLCs.
Increased Design Flexibility
With the ability to emulate the ControlLogix® 5580, GuardLogix® 5580, CompactLogix™ 5380, and Compact GuardLogix® 5380 platform, FactoryTalk® Logix Echo v3 brings increased design flexibility. It allows you to work anywhere you want since the software runs on your Windows computer or laptop.
Connect to Your Digital World
Connect your emulated controller to an Emulate3D™ model and run the entire twin digitally. You can also connect third-party simulations to provide high-fidelity simulations of heat, stress, flow, and more. This gives you a complete and holistic picture of your system's performance.
