Hello all,

I've got an application where my customer is insisting on controlling his VSDs over ModbusTCP. The application doesn't
require blinding update times and the VSD network will be completely independent from the SCADA network. Some synchronization is required but it is not particularly tight.
The application initially calls for about 70 VSDs and should grow to a maximum of about 110 VSDs.

While I've got my own opinion I would really appreciate any comments on such an application. I am purposely being vague to allow people to give their feedback on the major PLC and VSD brands using similar configurations.

Thanks!
