Hi everyone, hope someone can help me with this
In the company I work for we recently started using Mitsubishi drives and we liked it because it has a good price, there’s another drives brand which we are evaluating to use WEG
The thing is that I don’t know if it’s convenient choose WEG over Mitsubishi
I’ve heard that WEG is resists a lot of humidity but it’s a little more expensive than Mitsubishi so we got a discount from WEG so the price now it’s cheaper but if I want to use the port RS-485(Modbus-RTU) I need to buy a module CFW500-CRS485 which costs 137 dollars or 60 dollars with the offered discount, as far as I know Mitsubishi drives have already this port embedded, so now adding this module to WEG makes it like 30 dollars more expensive(final cost compared)
The PLC we use is Siemens 1200, so I’m afraid that by getting a durable product (WEG drive) at a good price we might be losing the benefit of the Modbus-RTU communication or paying more for it
Maybe it's not a lot of money the difference but the company buys like 200 drives a year or more so that's what it worries me
I attach image of the comparative in price

Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers
