Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines
for the Application, Installation and Maintenance of Solid State Controls (publication SGI-1.1 available from your local Rockwell
Automation sales office or online at http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature/) describes some important differences
between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices. Because of this difference, and also because of the
wide variety of uses for solid state equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy themselves that
each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or consequential damages resulting from the use
or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes. Because of the many variables and
requirements associated with any particular installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for
actual use based on the examples and diagrams.

Preface
Introduction
This quick start is designed to provide a way to implement a connected
component for simple motion control.
To assist in the design and installation of your system, application files and
other information are provided on the Connected Component Building
Blocks Overview CD, publication CC-QR001. The CD provides bills of
materials (BOM), CAD drawings for panel layout and wiring, control
programs, Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens, and more. 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.
The beginning of each chapter contains the following information. Read these
sections carefully before beginning work in each chapter:
•Before You Begin - This section lists the steps that must be completed
and decisions that must be made before starting that chapter. The
chapters in this quick start do not have to be completed in the order in
which they appear, but this section defines the minimum amount of
preparation required before completing the current chapter.
•What You Need - This section lists the tools that are required to
complete the steps in the current chapter. This includes, but is not
limited to, hardware and software.
•Follow These Steps - This illustrates the steps in the current chapter
and identifies which steps are required to complete the examples.
IMPORTANT The Simple Motion Control Connected Component Building
Block uses predefined configurations in the Ultra1500 drive
(such as gear ratio and output ratio) and the MicroLogix 1400
controller (such as pulse train output, high speed counters, and
input filters) to create a functional connected component
solution. Altering or failing to correctly configure the settings
and parameters explained in Chapter 1…Chapter 3 or failure to
use the pre-configured RSLogix 500 files provided with the
Simple Motion Control Building Block may result in unexpected
behavior and potentially unexpected motion. If you want to
alter the Simple Motion Control Connected Component
configurations or application code, consult the user manuals for
each related product to understand the ramifications of your
desired changes.
IMPORTANT Use this Quick Start in conjunction with the Connected
Components Building Blocks Quick Start, publication CC-QS001.

related documents.
