Mitsubishi L series vs Siemens S7-1200 (Logic controller for indust. machine )

Hello I need to do a design with a PLC for logic of my machine,
I will have :

• 1 station of 20-25 IO and two other remote of 20-25 I/O.
• Communication ethernet ip with a motion controller(6 axis)(Who are controlled by one of these controlers.
• Canopen com or RS485 for the receiver(radio remote control)
• HMI
• Huge program to implement
• I will need sd card for flashing and/or datalog
• I will need a web server
• More compact possible

For the software:
-Not too huge software
-intuitive
-fastfoward
-easy simulation


I never tryed s7-1200. I already tried in 3 years ago the S7-300(I found it complicated, and TIA portal quite heavy), some person told me that the S7-1200 is easier. Never heard about the mitsubishi L series... I also think about Phoenix ILC 191...
Do you have some advice or good/bad experience? thank you

no any inputs?

Why limit the servos to Ethernet IP ?

You will have / find less support for Mits than for Siemens.
As JRW asked why limit the motion to EtherNet/IP?
Are the axis independent or do they need to be coordinated?

I would chose neither and get a compactlogix especially if you need to use Ethernet/IP. As far as I know neither Mitsubishi or Siemens support Ethernet/IP. There may be Micrologix PLC that can speak Ethernet/IP but I prefer the RS5000 software.

Siemens S120 systems support Ethernet IP
He's too vague on what his system is supposed to do
But s71200, 6 Siemens S120 and his required I/O is a breeze

I would choose neither and use an M340 from Schneider. Easily meets all your requirements.

• 1 station of 20-25 IO and two other remote of 20-25 I/O. - for that small amount of remote io I would use an Advantys io drop (or any of the third party remote io systems) connected back to the M340 using EthernetIP
• Communication ethernet ip with a motion controller(6 axis)(Who are controlled by one of these controlers. - Yes it has Ehernet/IP (use an NOC module)
• Canopen com or RS485 for the receiver(radio remote control) - has CAN on the front of the CPU or other model CPU has Modbus/RS485 port
• HMI - yes it will talk to a hmi (I would use Redlion)
• Huge program to implement - I have done a whole process plant with one of these (hundreds of io, about 30 PID control loops)
• I will need sd card for flashing and/or datalog - yes front of cpu
• I will need a web server - yes built into NOE and NOC modules
• More compact possible - yes

For the software:
-Not too huge software - You will need UnityPro to program, but you only need the S version (considerably cheaper)
-intuitive - I think so (all 5 IEC langauges, tag based, etc)
-fastfoward - not sure what you mean?
-easy simulation - simulation is built into UnityPro (comes as part of the standard install). very easy to use, just download your program like normal just set the target as the simulator.
