I am currently using a GOT1000 Mitusbishi HMI for a display inside a cell. Does anyone know of a cheaper solution that I can connect to a Mitsubishi PLC via Ethernet? What I have works just fine. I am looking for a cheaper solution to implement across our other cells.

A cheaper solution meaning a less expensive HMI? If that's the case, try Red Lion (they have built-in Ethernet drives for Mitsubishi) or the Automation Direct C-More displays (also have built-in drivers).

Yes a less expensive option. Those are good options. Since the screen is not used for anything but a display. I wanted to find some type of display that I can load my program on. Preferably Mitsubishi since that is what all of our HMI's currently are.

We sell some, not Mitsubishi but very good...

We just started selling Weintek and they are compatible with most PLC's on the market and they are very good pricing for what you get, we are selling 10" and 7" http://www.plccable.com/weintek-hmis/

We also have some Red Lions in stock and most people that have used them love them http://www.plccable.com/brands/Red-Lion.html

Mitsubishi now has the GOT Simple series, might be a better price for you. Ask your distributor.
