IAB: Selecting the Controller with the Project Design Assistant
Control Application Details
You are a controls engineer and your Supervisor tells you to select a Logix controller for your latest
automation project. The requirements of the system are as follows:
The system will use two PowerFlex 525 drives and one Kinetix 350 drives.
So that the operator can interact with the machine you are told to include a PanelView Plus 6 with a
10 inch monitor.
You are told to include motor overload protection for the PowerFlex 525 drives.
You are told to minimize controller cost
You aren’t interested in looking in manuals so you decide to use IAB’s PDA Wizard.
Open IAB
1. Launch IAB from your desktop by double-clicking on the IAB icon on the computer desktop.
2. The IAB Start Page appears. Select New Project.
3. Select Project Design Assistant. Name the workspace ‘Green Magic Shampoo Labeler’. Change the
Location to ‘C:\L1LAB’ Click OK:

Project Design Assistant Logic – General Tour
4. Notice that the dialog has four sets of requirements (red arrows): Controller, Local I/O, Distributed I/O,
and Other Devices. Click the Redundancy check box under Controller Requirements:
Notice that once Redundancy is checked, you can no longer select Safety from the Controller
Requirements:
5. The Project Design Assistant has logic in place that recognizes that IAB does not support redundant
safety controllers. Uncheck Redundancy under Controller Requirements.

6. Click the Extreme Temperature checkbox:
Notice that when Extreme Temperature is checked, all of the Local I/O Requirements are grayed out.
The Project Design Assistant recognizes that extreme temperature controllers do not support local I/O.
7. Uncheck the Extreme Temperature checkbox.
8. Click the Conformal Coating checkbox. The Project Design Assistant recognizes that conformal coating
does not support high speed counters in local I/O and grays out this option:
9. Uncheck the Conformal Coating checkbox.

10. Note that for Distributed I/O Requirements that the default I/O platform is Point I/O. Select the pull down
menu for Point I/O so that you can see all the I/O platforms supported by the Project Design Assistant.
Leave this setting as Point I/O.
11. For non I/O platform devices we have Other Device Requirements. Here you see that we support a
variety of products from drives, to computers and motor overload devices. If you choose a device in the
Other Device Requirements section that has a Configure… button, then you must configure that item in a
RAISE configurator before adding it to your project. We’ll use this button later when we configure our
PowerFlex 525 drive. Scroll up and down to see the various other devices that are supported.

Create a Project
12. Now that we had a general tour of the Project Design Assistant, let’s begin our project. We want all the
devices on linear EtherNet/IP network with a small amount of Local I/O. Match the following values on
the Products and Requirements page paying special attention to the items in red. Click OK to the
popup IAB dialog box.
13. Next let’s add the Kinetix 350 drives. We don’t know the exact drive and motor (use Motion Analyzer)
that we will be using but we need to enter in the number of drives used so IAB can make sure we select
the proper controller. Click the arrow up button on the CIP Motion Drives line. This will add one 2097-
V31PR2-LM to your project. You must click the button once for each device you want to add. Clicking
the arrow down button will remove a device:
14. Now we need to add 2 PowerFlex 525 drives. For the Low Voltage Drives (Compact):
• Set the quantity to 2 using the up arrow button twice. Set the drive family to PowerFlex 525 using
the pull down menu. It is the last item in the list:

October 2017
15. Now click on the Configure button for the Low Voltage Drives (Compact). This will launch the RAISE
configurator. Set the options as shown in the screen shot by first clicking on the red “-NO SELECTION”.
These options will be the first item in each list. When done click on Accept. What is important in IAB is
that you add in the correct quantity of drives from the correct drive family. We will determine the specific
drive, motors and cables using Motion Analyzer. The values used in IAB are to correctly size the
controller for number of CIP connections, controller resources, number of EtherNet/IP nodes and network
capacity.
Click on the red ‘-No Selection’
and match the items found here.
They will be the first item in the
list. Click Accept when done.
Now your Low Voltage Drive (Compact) selection looks like:
10
Integrated Architecture Builder – L1 Basic Training
October 2017
16. Now we need to add 2 Motor Overload devices to protect our two PowerFlex 525 drives. If needed,
scroll until you see Motor Overload:
Add two 193S-EEPB Motor Overloads. Use the up arrow button twice to set the quantity to two.
17. Now we need to add the Operator Interface. If needed, scroll until you see Operator Interface:
18. One 2711P-T10C4D9 Operator Interface. Use the up button to set the quantity to 1. Use the middle pull
down menu to select the PanelView Plus 6 (10”):
19. We are done entering Other Device Requirements. Click Next to navigate to the Controller Analysis page:
Based on the controller requirements 5 of 6 possible Logix controller families can solve this
application. The CompactLogix L4X family was eliminated because it doesn’t support CIP motion
which is required for the Kinetix 5500 drives.
When presented with multiple controller families on the Controller Analysis page, uncheck any of the
boxes next to the items you would like to omit as controller options for your project. And / Or use the pull
down to change the controller catalog number. You may click on the pdf icon to read more about a
particular controller.
20. Click the Perform Analysis button:
11
Integrated Architecture Builder – L1 Basic Training
October 2017
21. Once the system analysis is complete, you will receive a message indicating a successful analysis. Click
OK.
The green circle under System Status indicates that the system IAB built from the Project Design
Assistant is okay. A yellow circle would indicate a warning, a red circle shows when there is an error,
and a gray circle indicates that you have not run the system analysis yet.
22. Here we have the relative cost of the system (we don’t know the exact drives we will use, nor did we
include the motors) using 5 different controller families. The Info buttons will let us read more details
about each controller family. The Preview button will let us view the Bill Of Material (BOM). The Network
button will let us review communications details.
Comment: Prices are updated several times a year. If IAB software has been updated from the time that
this lab was written, then you may see different prices. Or if pricing in IAB hasn’t been updated for a long
time, then your price file will expire and you will see no prices in IAB.
23. Click the Preview button for the ControlLogix selection to open its bill of materials (BOM) :
12
Integrated Architecture Builder – L1 Basic Training
October 2017
24. The BOM opens and shows a breakdown of the components in your system. Spend a few moments
reading through the BOM, then click Close. IAB will navigate back to the Controller Analysis page within
the Project Design Assistant.
25. The System Performance column shows the project status (after the Perform Analysis button is clicked)
and contains a Network button. Click the Network button for the CompactLogix-L30ERM solution to
navigate to the advanced Communication Details dialog:
13
Integrated Architecture Builder – L1 Basic Training
October 2017
You may need to scroll up to see all the values. Look at the items circled in red. We see that we are
using 5 out of 16 possible EtherNet/IP Nodes. The total utilization (motion + I/O +HMI) of the embedded
EtherNet/IP channel is 12.8%.
You can make any desired changes in this dialog that you deem necessary. Any changes you make in
the Communication Details dialog will be accounted for in the Project Design Assistant once you click OK
on this page.
Generate Hardware and View Results
26. You were told to minimize controller cost. Looking at the Comparison description for the
CompactLogix 5370 L1 we can use this controller family as a solution.
27. We decide on the 1769-L18ERM. So uncheck the other Family checkboxes. Use the pull down menu and
select the 1769-L18ERM and select Generate Hardware/Network button:
