The softlogix was running on a virtual instance of Server 2008, on a single Dell Server running ESXi. I had 20 VMs running on that thing to create everything we needed. The Softlogix had a dedicated VM to run on, nothing else ran on this VM. Ultimately, I configured the Softlogix to run each Processor on a separate core of the server. The chassis monitor is the interface to the SoftLogix controller. We use the monitor to:. Add and configure controllers. Add and configure communication cards. Add and configure motion cards. Change processor mode. Monitor controller and associated module status. Monitor motion performance. Problems with installing SoftLogix 5800 Hi, new to PLC's and this subreddit. I recently tried to install SoftLogix 5800 to use with RS Logix5000/RSLinx and I cannot seem to open the actual chassis monitor.
