Hi all, been messing around with the FC6A lately. Used it on a small project and it worked out fairly well. I like the way it has Modbus messaging set up (much less hassle than MicroLogix MSGs). I don't like that multiplying two words (16-bit ints) results in a 32-bit int, and because each tag name is tied to a 16-bit word, you have to make 2 consecutive tag names/labels to avoid having to use a straight address (ex. result is pointed to D7000, 16-bit actual result is in D7001, need to label both addresses).
Wondering what everyone else thinks about these so far. I'm going through the communications manual and really digging the way they have the custom web page functionality set up. We've been thinking about moving towards basically replacing the local HMI with a wireless access point, and then people would use their smartphones as HMIs basically.
