Preface
About this Publication
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 for your
application requirements.
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 of the supporting files are included on the Drives and Motion Accelerator Toolkit DVD, publication
ncluding 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 Rockwell Automation distributor or 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 these same supporting files from the Rockwell Automation® Integrated Architecture
Tools website,
he Beyond Getting Started tab.
