just wondering what the consensus was on the PV800 HMI's when mated to a Micrologix 1200 or 1400 to control a single machine, non integrated system. We currently use Panelview Plus 6 600's for everything and it seems as if at the price point for certain smaller applications the PV800's would fit the bill much better.
-I know that the PV800 is limited to 20 screens, which wont be an issue with smaller projects.
-I dont see where the PV800 can do any sort of data logging like the PVP6 600 can do and send the .csv file to an FTP server so that it can be pulled down from there. it seems they have the capability to data log "trend data" to a USB stick though.
-User Log In security requirements seem to be adequate in comparison to FTVS
-It seems the only way to get tag info from RSLogix 500 to CCW is by using the ASCII Tag Database Ecport Utility, which is a bit longer then how ive done it with the DB browser in FTVS but not the end of the world.
-Seems to have animations of buttons on the screen so that certain things will only appear when certain tags are set in the PLC.
is there anything glaring that im missing between these two HMI's? i dont want to spec one out for a job and then get hosed and not be able to have it do what i need to do. Thanks!
