Hello All.
I have a project that is pretty easy however, it involves over 1,000,000 analog inputs. It is a solar panel farm that has 200 inverters, that contain 25 panels each. The customer is requesting Allen-Bradley products, however it is designed. I have never worked with this much I/O in the past and I am hoping someone here has. I am not even sure I want to use a PLC here, since it isn't going to be controlling anything, merely reading data. I am not sure which SCADA system would be best, with this many tags. A one-minute sample rate is all they are requesting. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
