Can any one suggest a AB PLC for the below requirement:
Digital Input: 38
Analog input: 19
This PLC will be connected to a DCS via an Industrial modem.
Protocol being used by DCS is Modbus. SO the PLC should be Modbus Slave.
Also the PLC will gather data from a flowmeter locally via modbus. So the PLC should act as a Modbus Master and flowmeter as Modbus slave.
The information from the flowmeter will also be given to the remote DCS via modem.
I thought about prosoft. But they have two products and i donot know which one to use. 1. 3100-MCM (Modbus master/Slave comm)
2. MVI46-MCM (modbus master/slave comm)
As i am familiar only with AB PLC i wanted to use that PLC only. I understand that only SLC 500 will be economical option (is there any other economical options available)
So any suggestion would be of great help.
Many thanks
