I need to upgrade a few old panelview 550's in our plant that are connected to SLC 5/04's and 5/05's. I'm leaning towards going with Red Lion HMI's but notice that the Graphite line has indoor and outdoor rated panels. The CR1000 and CR3000 line don't say anything about outdoor ratings. Is this outdoor rating just for temperature, or water resistance. Although these would be indoors, the operating environment is pretty harsh with them routinely getting splashed with water on the outside of the cabinets. Anyone have experience with both the old panelviews and Red Lion HMI's that could say whether they are as durable?
I would upgrade to the newer A-B panelview+, but am not impressed with Allen Bradley's expensive software that seems to be full of bugs, and wanting to try something different.
