Reduce Device Onboarding Time with One-Tap IP

Accelerate your device set-up with basic commissioning before even powering-up. This simplifies panel builds and helps reduce start-up delays. Using near field communication (NFC), you can use a “one-tap” for your PointMax™ I/O IP configuration.

Deploy Faster with One-Tap IP Auto-Increment

Reduce the time-consuming task of setting multiple IP addresses with DeviceTools™. With the added ability to auto-increment IP address configuration, deploying any number of modules is now fast and consistent—all while the product is still in the box.

NFC Workflows

Tap and view your PointMax™ I/O for quick device details and status. Set or verify your IP address with one tap using your mobile phone and DeviceTools. Easily capture serial data and sync to MyRockwell via Product Registration.

Troubleshooting Workflows

Guided workflows help you identify the cause of faults, alarms or events and resolve problems, enabling faster diagnosis and repair.

One-tap to extend your warranty

Easily verify and register your Allen-Bradley® products—right in the app. Enjoy peace of mind with fast product authentication and unlock extended warranty on eligible items when you register. 

AI-Assisted Chat Help

No more sifting through resources to troubleshoot and resolve device faults or alarms. Get solutions faster than ever with an all-new AI-powered tool trained exclusively on Allen-Bradley® devices. With the power of searchable technical documentation and Knowledgebase articles — you get a connected experience without leaving the app.
