Rockwell Automation's Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit and Connected Components Workbench Software

Feb. 26, 2014
Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit (CCAT) and Connected Components Workbench software tools are designed to integrate the machine-control development process.

Connected Components Accelerator Toolkit (CCAT) and Connected Components Workbench software tools are designed to integrate the machine-control development process. Machine builders choose their controller, and the toolkit provides a full suite of compatible components and application development tools, including a list of compatible materials; panel layout and wiring drawings (usable in CAD software); prewritten control programs; quick-start guides; and sample HMI screens, including diagnostics. The toolkit provides a bill of materials electronically, and once panels are designed and built, the Workbench software enables machine builders to program controllers, configure devices and design HMI screens.
