Using ACE 2011.
I only have AB parts catalog.
How do I load the GE catalog?
Is there a catalog for Automation Dorect?
Are you sure you selected the catalog of desired manufacturers while installing ACADE?
The catalog lookup tables will show the manufacturer catalog entiries depending on the symbol type by default.
Try to run the setup again as a repair/reinstall, and select the catalog(s) you wish to add.
"Automation Dorect" doesnt sound familiar to me, so I am unsure if it supplied with the current packages.
Hope this helps
I am pretty sure the poster meant Automation Direct (www.automationdirect.com) The are pretty big in the inexpensive plc market. I prefer them over AB for many things. You can do much of the same things that Contrologix does for about 1/3 the price...
ACE does have some AD parts in the database. You will just have to look and add what is missing for your applications.
