Preface
Introduction
This quick start provides step by step instructions for using the CNC
Machining Accelerator Toolkit to help you design, install, operate, and
maintain a CNC work cell incorporating a GuardLogix Supervisory
Controller and FANUC Series 30i-B, 31i-B, 32i-B, or 35i-B CNC System.
Included are selection tools, layout and wiring drawings, and
pre-configured logic and HMI files to assist you in creating an Integrated
Architecture™ solution for your application requirements.
All the supporting files are included on the CNC Machining Accelerator
Toolkit DVD, publicat
. The DVD provides PLC and
CNC selection tools; CAD drawings for panel layout and wiring; basic
status, control, and diagnostic logic files; FactoryTalk View ME faceplates,
and more. For a copy of the DVD, contact your local Rockwell
Automation distributor or sales representative. With these tools and the
built-in best-practices design, the system designer is free to focus on the
design of their machine control and not on design overhead tasks.
You can also download these same supporting files from the
Rockwell Automation® Integrated Architecture Tools website,
the Beyond Getting Started tab.
