Hello all,
I have a customer that wants me to use a Siemens controller for a new process. It's pretty simple- just a PID for level control, some blending calculations and a few alarms. Normally I would use a MicroLogix 1400 for this sort of thing.
Never having used Siemens PLCs, is there a "go-to" model for small projects like this? I remember hearing that they have some sort of starter kit that includes a small PLC and HMI. I'm guessing a trial version of the PLC and HMI software comes with this kit?
I've inquired with some local vendors, but they usually aren't very helpful with technical questions.
Any advice and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
