Total Cost to Design, Develop, and Deliver^SM

No matter how lean your business, you are always looking for opportunities to save money, resources and tools or methods to make your business more profitable. You can lower your Total Cost to Design, Develop and Deliver^SM with an automation provider who offers a full range of solutions on a scalable basis and can also help you apply best practices to machine design and development. When you focus on the overall long-term business impact your machines will have on your customer's total cost of ownership you become a true value-add partner.

• Integrated Architecture

  Integrated Architecture from Rockwell Automation uses sophisticated control, networking, and visualization technologies that help increase your productivity and reduce your total cost to design, develop and deliver machines. At the heart of the Integrated Architecture is the Logix control platform that addresses a full range of control needs for discrete, motion, process and batch control, drive control, and safety applications. All Logix family controllers leverage the same control engine and the same RSLogix™ 5000 programming and configuration software.

  Integrated Architecture eases the application of standardization methodologies, allowing you to reuse engineering efforts to help drive shorter design cycles, help simplify technical issue resolutions, and allow your engineering staff to focus on innovations that lead to a competitive advantage.

• Modular Programming

  Modular programming encompasses code structuring, tag naming conventions, state model implementation, HMI practices and more. Based on industry standards, it provides you with a consistent framework to get the most from our Integrated Architecture. End users look for this consistency among their machine suppliers since it helps reduce installation, integration, training, and maintenance costs.

• Software Library

  Our OEM software library of code and faceplates follows the foundations of modular programming and is used by our global team to help you increase your design efficiency, create scalable systems using the same code base and provide your customers with improved access to production and diagnostic information. It leverages PhaseManager for ISA88 and PackML state model implementation plus Add-on Instructions (AOIs) for enhanced code reusability. The modularity and customization capabilities of AOIs, combined with Global Objects in our FactoryTalk® View suite, provide a powerful programming methodology. The library also includes Kinematics application code to simplify robotics integration in a single, standard platform.
