Standard Programming using Machine Builder Library – It’s FREE!

Struggling with Automation Project Delays?

Building complex automation systems can slow you down. The Rockwell Automation Machine Builder Library provides pre-built, standardized code to accelerate development. Designed for Allen-Bradley PLCs like ControlLogix and CompactLogix PLCs, it simplifies machine and process logic creation. Here are five ways to leverage this library for efficient automation.

What is Rockwell Automation Machine Builder Library?

The Machine Builder Library offers lifecycle-managed, modular code libraries for process, motion, and drive applications. Supporting standards like PackML (ISA-TR88.00.02), it’s ideal for discrete and process automation scenarios. It integrates with Studio 5000 Application Code Manager for rapid project deployment across industries.  For HMIs, it allows for your choice of FactoryTalk View (Panelview Plus 7), View Designer (Panelview 5000), and FactoryTalk Optix.

5 Pieces of Code Included in the Library

• Motor Starter, VFDs, and Valves: Add-On Instructions for the PLC and popup fully featured Faceplates for the HMI.  More devices available as well.
• PLC Code Organizational Structure: Set’s up the standard organizational structure for your PLC to add the code to.
• Machine or Process Control Paradigms: Sequencers and State Machines using ISA-88 internationally recognized standards.
• HMI Based Display: Creates and ISA-101 Style HMI screen with plenty of room to add the required devices and objects for your machine or process.
• Instruction Manuals: Each Instruction and Faceplate has a PDF manual included for easy learning.  There is also other quick start guides and a full line of YouTube videos to aid in learning.

5 Ways to Use Machine Builder Library

• Streamline Packaging Lines: Use PackML templates to configure high-speed packaging machines, cutting coding time for consistent output.
• Enhance Motion Control: Implement logic for servo-driven systems, ensuring precise control for automated assembly tasks.
• Optimize Robotics Integration: Apply libraries for robotic arm control, compatible with ControlLogix or CompactLogix PLCs.
• Automate Material Handling: Use pre-built code for conveyor or sorting systems, integrating with PowerFlex drives for efficiency.
• Generate Machine Logic: Import libraries into Studio 5000 Application Code Manager to auto-generate code, reducing manual programming.
