Using Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB)
Integrated Architecture Builder is a graphical tool designed to help you
configure and quote Logix-based control systems, including validation of
DeviceNet cable power requirements. With IAB, you can build a control
system using a wizard and other common Microsoft Windows tools such as
tree views, drag-and-drop, and cut-copy-paste. IAB also allows you to open
product manuals to help you configure a system. Once you configure the
system, the software performs validity checking, and you can generate a report
to be used in quoting the control system.
Figure Preface.1 shows a sample of the IAB interface you use to build a
system.
