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.

• Machine Control Solutions

  Rockwell Automation offers machine builders a full range of machine control solutions, from cost-effective component to highly integrated systems. Each of these easily implemented solutions help you speed time to market and lower the total cost to design, develop and deliver your machine.

  • Cost Effective Component Solutions
    Giving you just enough control to meet machine and customer requirements, while improving your operating efficiencies, cost-effective component solutions feature simple connectivity for a mechanical linked machine or a standalone machine at a lower cost.
  • Mid-range Solutions
    A lower cost option for machine builders who provide small to midrange machines with sophisticated requirements, mid-range solutions help meet your customer's multi axis motion and enterprise connectivity requirements while improving your operating efficiency.
  • Highly Integrated Solutions
    Highly integrated solutions provide sophisticated control and information capabilities that meet your customer’s most demanding requirements, including safety, motion, robotics, and discrete control capability with enterprise connectivity, all while improving your operating efficiencies.

• Modular Programming/Power 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.

  Power Programming is a methodology for implementing modular programming concepts within the RSLogix™ 5000 and FactoryTalk® View programming environments. The Power behind Power Programming lies within the principles laid out in the ISA-88 (S88) standards and the Rockwell Automation Foundations of Modular Programming guidelines.

• 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 the ISA-88 standards 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 software suite, provide a powerful programming methodology. The library also includes Kinematics application code to simplify robotics integration in a single, standard platform.

• Product Selection Toolbox

  The Product Selection Toolbox is a collection of Product Selection and System Design software tools that help you select Allen-Bradley products and design application solutions using those products. Free of charge, the Product Selection Toolbox offers you easy access to Allen-Bradley products, as well as configuration tools and CAD drawings, saving you valuable development time.

• Design Toolkits

  Design Toolkits contain the tools you need to swiftly and easily design, install, operate and maintain a machine. Basic pre-configured logic code will get you up and running quickly while minimizing engineering costs. Leveraging the HMI screen templates will help you reduce integration costs and improve time to market.
