Not looking for stone throwing or even opinions on this one. More so just looking for some tangible, verifiable facts.
When it comes to Step7 and RSLogix5000, in general, what specifically can be done in one that can't be done in the other? Can anyone cite specific examples of something that can be done in one, that would be monstrous to accomplish the same thing in the other?
It would be nice to separate "taste" from actual "functionality"
For staters, I'll throw out there that Siemens will not work well natively with EthernetIP and AB will not work well natively with Profinet.
And by "native" I mean you do not require a 3rd party device to make it happen.
Another example someone mentioned (unrelated to AB - Siemens) is that GE has double redundancy.
What does one "got" that the other "don't got"?
