I have several PanelView 1400's communicating to SLC's via RIO. These are CRT unit's and usually only last about 3 years. I've been having them repaired, but sooner or later, they are going to have to be replaced. One just died about 30 minutes ago.
The PanelViewPlus 1500 is supposed to be a drop in replacement size wise, but I would have to purchase new software, and I've read a lot of bad things about the PV+ line. I also do not know if the RIO option is available for the PV+ line.
On to the question, what have you guys been doing in similar situations. What's a good replacement for the 1400. Doesn't have to be an AB product, but a RIO interface would be nice. If no else supports RIO, then I could use a DH+ unit, since the SLC's are 5/04's.
I know the RIO units are a pain in the a**, but it's already installed and running, and would not require any re-wiring.
thanks,
Ken
