How do you select automation products for your projects?


Specifying Control Systems is Complex

Over 350,000 standard products & millions of potential configured products to choose from

Paper catalogs, selection guides, and data sheets can be cumbersomeand inefficient to work with and are rarely “current”

Information is disconnected fromwhat users need to produce

Desktop applications and Web-basedTools provide the answer!

Partial Set of RA Product Catalogs and Data Sheets

The Product Selection Toolbox is a collection of Product Selection and System

Design software tools that provide assistance selecting Allen-Bradley products and

designing application solutions using those products

Easy access to product configuration tools, product information, and CAD

Drawings

Ability to create a single bill of material for the complete range of Allen-Bradley

products

Tools provide assistance configuring Motor Starters, Motor Control Bus Systems,

Automation Systems and Motion

Control Systems

Software to aid in creating project bids and submittal documents

All tools are PC based and able to be used without being connected to the internet
