Integrated Architecture Builder (IAB) software provides advanced selection assistance and a graphical interface for designing systems. Those systems can include products communicating over networks like Ethernet/IP and subsystems that have components sharing a common backplane like PLCs. You can add I/O, networks, drives, on-machine cabling and wiring, motion control, and other devices to your system. Download Integrated Architecture Builder from the Product Selection Toolbox executable file or the mobile app.

Why Use Integrated Architecture Builder
Overview
Why Use Integrated Architecture Builder
