Hi guys,
I work for a OEM and we make products that has a control panel with a PLC and a touchscreen. We use the same program for each customer,so the customers customize the system by entering some values on the touchscreen. But as such the program is generic. Currently we use Micrologix 1200 and Panelview 600 Std.
Now my question is, if we were to give communication option to customers (to connect our PLC with their PLC or SCADA); which protocol should we choose? I am not very familiar with AB, I know there is ethernet... But the only issue here is we do not want the customer to change our program, neither do we want to make different programs.. We just want to supply some values that they can use.. Is this possible?
Which option would be most demanded? Ethernet?
THanks for your time
