Greetings,
My most recent project used Siemens Comfortsoft and a Logo. Prior to that a stepper project with Panasonic FPWIN-GR (FPe PLC), and a few panels using CX1 V9 CP1L/VFD w 3wire control.
Comfortsoft v7 has a great interface to write a quick programs with but I am interested in doing a larger project with a 12x12yPLC a pair of VFDs via RS485 and a Maple or Red Lion panel. This is a simple project with no recipes.
I would like to find something similar to Comfortsoft that would be intuitive for doing the RS485 control. I am considering an S7-1200 starter kit that includes Step7 software, or an Omron CP1L setup because we own CX1v9. I just don't find CX1 to be very intuitive.
