Your Preferred Control Solution for Cost-Sensitive Machines

Part of Rockwell Automation's Machine Solutions offering, Connected Components is a preferred control solution for machine builders who provide stand-alone machines at low cost.

Connected Components provides "just enough" control to meet machine and end customer requirements while helping to improve your operating efficiencies. Engineering and application tool sets allow easy design and installation with preferred interoperability of our broad range of component class products.

Connected Components is built around a core of MicroLogix™ PLCs, PowerFlex™ drives and the newly developed PanelView™ Component HMI. The solution allows machine builders to concentrate on machine design and performance, rather than the necessary, but time consuming preparation work and structural details such as gathering documents and drawing diagrams.

Advantages

Combining a simple, yet powerful control core with a full suite of associated components and a dedicated set of class-leading application development tools, Connected Components gives machine builders what they need to address their control requirements in the shortest possible time. Take advantage of the Connected Components Building Blocks (CCBB) — essential tools that make it quicker and easier to implement common control tasks as part of the machine design.

As a complete solution, you'll benefit from:

  • Just enough control
  • Simple connectivity
  • Simplified engineering
  • Faster start-up
  • Enhanced diagnostics
  • Low cost
