AutomationDirect Productivity Suite vs DirectLogix 6

Good Morning ,

How much better and easier is Productivity Suite compared to DirectSoft 6. With Productivity Suite can you build your rack , by selecting cards , like you can in RS Logix 5000 , also is communicating with analog modules and values easier ?

Thanks,

It's a free download, you might just want to try it for yourself. I'd offer more but I've only had a very limited amount of time with it. It seemed fairly mature for a newer package. I'm looking forward using it for a railroad switch testing station where I need to datalog a few parameters. It looks like it has a lot of strong points. The analog modules also show all their values in real-time on the front of each module which is nice. It seems similar to Do-More Designer.
