Ethernet/IP Capacity Tool
The EtherNet/IP Capacity Tool (formerly called the EtherNet/IP Performance Prediction
Tool) is intended to help you in the initial layout of your EtherNet/IP network
and motion system by calculating resources (Connections, Packets Per Second) used
by a proposed network.
You choose icons to indicate the type and number of nodes on the network, along
with associated parameters such as Update Rate desired. The tool then calculates
the resources used and what's still available. This format makes it easy to try
different configurations/parameters and see how the outcome is affected. A new version
is now available that calculates resource usage of Safety nodes, provides enhanced
support for HMI nodes, adds support for the CompactLogix L23E, and other enhancements.
To keep the Ethernet Performance Prediction Tool up-to-date this download includes
and installs software called Current. This software continuously checks the internet
for updates to the tool.
Faceplates/AOI
Adding a device like a PowerFlex drive, into a Logix controller project has always
provided ready-to-use tags. Now Faceplate/AOI sets make use of these tags with code
for your controller and graphics for your HMI. Simply download a Faceplate/AOI set
from the library, then install and configure it for your application using the straightforward
instructions included in the download. By implementing these pre-programmed, pre-tested
Faceplate/AOI sets for devices such as drives, networks, and I/O modules, the user
can configure, commission and operate devices without the need to write a single
line of code. The faceplates also include many diagnostic functions to assist the
maintenance and troubleshooting of your system. Faceplate/AOI sets bring the power
of the Integrated Architecture to your system quickly and easily.
Download the Faceplate/AOI sets for FactoryTalk View ME and SE at the Sample Code
Library Web site by selecting "AOI" or "Faceplates" under Technologies & Functionalities

of discovery, innovation and development.
SolidWorks
Machinery manufacturers face relentless demands from customers and the market to
create systems that are cheaper, more reliable, and more productive. To answer these
challenges, Dassault Systèmes SolidWorks and Rockwell Automation have developed
a prototyping solution that dramatically shortens the gap between idea and reality
- mechatronics.
This addresses the key desires of machine builders, including the need for greater
innovation, more optimised performance, faster time to market and reduced business
risk. A mechatronics design approach helps build more flexible, and therefore more
sustainable machinery. With Motion Analyzer software, you can identify potential
improvements early in the machine design stage, thereby extending the lifetime of
the machine.
VMWare
Virtualisation is a software technology that allocates servers and other hardware
resources when and where they are needed. This enables companies to run multiple
Rockwell Automation software applications on a single server.
Through virtualisation, a thin layer of software called a “hypervisor” is inserted
directly on the computer hardware or on a host operating system. Multiple operating
systems run concurrently in isolated virtual machines on a single physical computer
and share hardware resources with each other.
Virtual machines can be run on any virtualisation-enabled physical server, creating
a pool of computer resources that helps ensure the end user’s highest-priority applications
will always have the resources they need.
Support of VMware-ready software is designed to help manufacturers reduce energy
use, floor space and capital expenditure.
