Hello everyone,
Can anybody give me a tip on what kind of Allen Bradley PLC to have my boss at work buy, I have been writing simple plc programs for a few years now and I am learning more and more as I go on, compared to professional what I write is rudimentary.
But now at work we are going to refurbish all production machines as well as the ones at our other plants. I have always used what PLC processor is in the machine I never had to choose/buy one before, I don't know where to start, it will be for cold header machines, and there are only about 16 input devices and about 7 output devises and about 5 indicator lights.
I need the smallest PLC processor that I can use sort to speak, I don't know the difference in cost from a SLQ/5 to a SLQ/500.
This is going to be an ongoing project at work, one machine at a time being completely taken out of production and rebuilt.
If anyone can give me a suggestion I will gladly take it.
Thanks,
Rick M.
