FREE Drives & Motion Accelerator Toolkit

The new Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit (DMAT) is a DVD containing a collection of design tools, which help users reduce the time and cost of developing a new application using PowerFlex® AC drives, Kinetix® servo drives and other Rockwell Automation equipment.


The easy-to-use tools and templates assist users with a wide variety of design tasks, from selecting components and developing drawings, to writing code, laying out human-machine interface (HMI) screens, starting up a machine and troubleshooting. This allows users to concentrate on developing the unique features of their Rockwell Automation Integrated Architecture™ application, rather than on routine tasks that add to overhead costs.

The DMAT uses a modular format that greatly simplifies the work needed when building applications with multiple product lines. Users can select the products and common tasks that are needed to start a machine design with a solid foundation of functionality and features.

The DMAT provides sets of modules that are combined to produce:
• An initial Bill of Material
• A beginning set of CAD drawings for wiring diagrams and panel layouts
• An initial logic program written around the specific products used by the application
• Initial HMI screens designed around the specific products used by the application

The Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit DVD is available free of charge from Rockwell Automation sales representatives and distributors.
Many of the individual resources can also be downloaded here.
