How to create outlook signature

hi Todd McKinnon automation specialist with Werner electric display welcome to our automation learning series in this series we'll bring you the latest automation technologies products and how-to videos I'm gonna be demonstrating how to use integrated architecture builder to configure a rockwell automation system first thing you'll do is you'll open our integrated architecture builder create a new workspace but what put it in whatever location you care to put it in and this is what you'll get you'll get this workspace right here what I'm going to do is I'm going to go into this wizard view this lower left area I'm gonna make a compact logics it's like my voltage put in how many inputs I'm gonna be using how many outputs I'm going to be using I'm going to be putting any analog and then you're gonna get to this screen I can then decide which processor arm use I'm going to use a L 30 erm because the M I might be doing some motion control and then as far as the inputs that it selects on its home it selects high-density modules less expensive I prefer to use the 16 point module so I'll change those I will make the default processor called this and now at that point my compact logics is already configured next thing that it's gonna ask me is that do I want to make add some distributed i/o in this case I'm gonna say yes I will use an existing network which is what I was using for the compact logics if you don't select that it's gonna create multiple Ethernet switches and I want to just use a point i/o so deselect all the other ones again I'm just gonna put in how many inputs and outputs I'm gonna be using and for point a oh this is very convenient because it'll add all the necessary power expansion modules that you might need if you're using a lot of oil and when you get to this screen right here set the bank size to a large number I'm just gonna say 30 because then it'll make it all on one consecutive Bank I want IV AIDS boba AIDS that's the analog so I can pick an ATM TRF I want I want to have dual ports and then just say finish so at this point that's all I want it to add for now now go to your hardware tab and it should show the control objects that you configure it initially and it should also show all of your point i/o if you look at the point IO this is where it I think it's very convenient the way it configures things all of those i/o modules got selected and notice in here it added that additional power module that I need so I didn't have to do any calculating next go over to the network tab right here and we'll look at the switch that we had selected for us it automatically selected a switch for us in here you can notice it put in the processor to the switch it added the point I owe to the switch and it gave it a couple different IP addresses you can go in here and change the properties of that switch to be what you're actually using same thing with the point IO adapter module and as far as the switch goes you can also go in there and look at the switch properties and decide whether you want that particular switch or not just do the pulldown and to select whichever switch you want this one has six ports you might need more ports and that's about it now let's also go ahead and check out our system so you can hit this little project checker and it will go and make sure that everything was configured correctly the next thing that maybe I'll do is I can go into a few different locations if I want and add things like drives if I want to go in and add software to my bill materials I can go into this and predict pick which type of software I might want to select maybe somebody's gonna be using RSU factory talk with USC I can just put a number in there and that will add that to the bill materials and then when you're done you can just select the project Bill of Materials generator and it'll show you a little bill of materials of everything that you've got to this point and that's about it one other thing you can save it to an excel file if you'd like also if you want to generate a really big document you have word on your computer you can create a a word document for that as well when words done configuring everything this is the document you get a bunch of fluff stuff that's probably don't care about just delete that but it does give you a nice architectural view of what you set up nice billow materials for everything and might be something nice that you want to put into a proposal or into a customer presentation that type of thing for more information contact your local Werner electric representative be sure to check out our Werner Electric YouTube channel for more videos for our automation learning series
