Free Allen-Bradley (A-B) And Rockwell Automation (RA) Software (Part 2)

UPDATE 10/31/2017: Try as I might, I can no longer find the software packages listed in this article anywhere online (the associated sites have been completely redesigned.)


UPDATE 08/22/22: While I don’t have permission to post the below  software publicly, I have made the old SLC-100/150 software download available to supporters here, and the old DataLiner, InView, DTAM, and MicroView software downloads available to supporters here.


Where to get free software for Allen-Bradley (A-B) and Rockwell Automation (RA) products, part two:

In yesterday’s article we discussed getting free software for Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Automation from the RA Downloads page, the MicroLogix downloads page, the Drives Explorer page, and from the Knowledgebase.

Today we’ll look at less obvious webpages including the Rockwell Software downloads page.

Free Software Downloads From Rockwell Software Download Search PageFree Software Available From The Rockwell Software Downloads Page:

While the Rockwell Software Downloads Page use to have a prominent link from the main www.RockwellSoftware.com website, today it’s not as easy to find.

But it’s still worth checking out as many free Allen-Bradley and Rockwell Software packages are available for download there.

Below I’ll list those I find the most useful:

Free Software Downloads From Rockwell Software Download Listing1) DL5 Software – Free software download for Allen-Bradley Dataliner DL5 software.

2) DL30 Software – Free software download for Allen-Bradley DataLiner DL30 software. Alternate link for DL30
