Quick Reference
Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit
Quick Start Summary
This quick start provides step by step instructions for
using the Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit to
help you design, install, operate, and maintain a drive
system. Included are selection tools, layout and wiring
drawings, and pre-configured logic and HMI files to
assist you in creating an Integrated Architecture™
solution that includes Allen-Bradley® servo drives and
PowerFlex® AC drives.
The instructions also show how the Drives and
Motion Accelerator Toolkit (DMAT) Wizard can
automate the tasks needed to build the files used in the
Integrated Architecture solution.
All the supporting files are included on the Drives and
Motion Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication
IASIMP-SP017, including the DMAT Wizard. The
DVD provides drive selection tools; CAD drawings
for panel layout and wiring; basic status, control, and
diagnostic logic files; FactoryTalk® View ME and SE
faceplates, and more. For a copy of the DVD, contact
your local Allen-Bradley distributor or Rockwell
Automation® sales representative. With these tools and
the built-in best-practices design, the system designer
is free to focus on the design of their machine control
and not on design overhead tasks.
You can also download many of these same supporting files from the Rockwell Automation Integrated
Architecture Tools website, http://www.ab.com/go/iatools
on the Beyond Getting Started tab.

Quick Start Chapter Summary
Follow this path to complete your Drives and Motion
application.
Chapter 1 - Initial System Configuration Using the DMAT Wizard
In this chapter you use the Rockwell Automation DMAT
Wizard to create an initial bill of materials, assemble a system
drawing set, and create an RSLogix™ 5000 project file with a
preconfigured controller, network, drives and initial system
program logic. In addition, you are introduced to several
Rockwell Automation system configuration tools that provide
assistance in sizing your motor/drive combinations for a variety
of load, transmission, and application types.
Chapter 2 - Bill of Materials Completion
In this chapter you use Rockwell Automation ProposalWorks™
software to complete the drives and motion system bill of
materials that the DMAT Wizard created.
Chapter 3 - System Layout and Wiring
In this chapter you edit the set of layout and wiring drawings
from the DMAT drawing library that the DMAT Wizard
created.
Chapter 4 - Logic Configuration
In this chapter you edit the preconfigured logic file that the
DMAT Wizard created for your specific application.

Chapter 5 - FactoryTalk View ME Configuration
In this chapter you create the operator interface
application file for your system using FactoryTalk
View Studio software. The toolkit includes a
variety of preconfigured machine and device
faceplate displays providing status, control, and
diagnostics for your drives and motion system.
Chapter 6 - System Commissioning
In this chapter you download your Logix and
PanelView™ Plus applications, prepare and tune
your drive hardware, verify network
communications, and verify general operator/
program control.
Chapter 7 - System Application Guide
This chapter guides you through the preconfigured FactoryTalk View Machine Edition
application faceplates providing you with an
understanding of the status, control, and diagnostic
operation of the faceplate displays.

To assist you in device configuration, the Widg-O-matic machine application example is
referenced in the device configuration steps. Two servo drives are configured for the X-Y
gantry assembly section, one PowerFlex drive is configured for the conveyor, and one
Kinetix® 300 drive is configured for the packaging diverter.
Modularity Example - Machine/Application/Device Module Relationship
The machine module monitors the current state of the overall machine and based on the state and/or requests
from the HMI terminal, broadcasts out commands to both the application and device modules. The individual
modules perform a predefined task based on the command. Some of the commands may be ignored depending
on the module type.
