QuickBuilder™ Suite

QuickBuilder™ Suite is CTC’s graphical development environment for automation projects, built on the latest .NET technology. It combines all aspects of machine control into one easy-to-use desktop application.

This unified approach simplifies project development, reduces maintenance complexity, and enables faster machine start-ups.

Compatible Controllers

QuickBuilder™ Suite works seamlessly with 5300 Series Automation Controllers.

Key Features

Unified development environment
Streamlined user interface
Integrated machine control
Built-in security and audit tools
Improved project documentation

Step Editor

The Graphical SFC window lets users highlight steps and edit logic in the adjacent editor. Novice users can use the auto-step editor for guided command creation, while advanced users may enter code directly.

Syntax is checked in real time, ensuring accuracy and reducing debugging effort.

Resource Manager

QuickBuilder™ Suite includes a dedicated Resource Manager window that displays all physical and logical attributes of the controller. This replaces the traditional Project Manager view, offering clearer visibility and faster configuration.

Using menus and right-click options, users can easily set up and manage controller resources for their application.

Project Documentation Tools

QuickBuilder™ generates internal documentation using tools like the auto report generator and in-line documentation editor. Built-in reports include:

Graphical views
Code listings
Project notes
Resource cross-reference lists

Reports feature embedded hyperlinks for fast navigation and debugging. External files (e.g. CAD drawings, text documents) can be added via drag-and-drop from Windows Explorer.

Documentation files can be marked as downloadable and saved to the controller’s memory. Sensitive files may be encrypted using QuickBuilder’s 56-bit encryption.
