We're starting a new project with Compactlogix PLC, a couple Panelview Plus HMI's, 15 or so Powerflex 525's and a couple remote I/O panels. I'm debating on if we should use the newer 5069 series or stick with 1769.
Pricing seems pretty comparable so cost really isn't an issue.
From a programming standpoint I'm assuming there's little or no difference? Looks like we'd need to update to V29 or V30 though.
We need to communicate with some Modbus TCP and/or RTU devices, so in rack Prosoft modules would be out with the 5069. Not that big of a deal though to use an external gateway.
Anything I should be wary of?
