Hi,
I will need a controller soon for a molding machine and I would like to know who makes fast PLC or PAC not too expensive. As expensive I mean like RX3i is which I think would be near 6k-8k for my needs.
Here's the application specs :
- 8 PID heat loops (so I need thermocouple inputs) which 3 would be fast loop time
- 3 analog inputs for pressure and position
By now, I think to give the Productivity 3000 from A-D a try. Spec are 600μs for 3K Boolean, 1K I/O.
Also, this machine will not to be extremely precise as thin wall molding machine must.
So which brand offer fast and affordable PLC or PAC?
Thanks!
