MILWAUKEE, Sept. 6, 2007 — To help OEMs, end users and electrical contractors select Allen-Bradley component products and design application solutions using those products, Rockwell Automation has created the Product Selection Toolbox, a comprehensive suite of product selection and system design software tools.

Available free of charge to Rockwell Automation partners and customers, the Product Selection Toolbox offers users easy access to the complete line of Allen-Bradley products, as well as configuration tools and CAD drawings.
