PLCNext: anybody have any experience with them?

PLCnext Engineer was frustrating for me at first. After spending some time with it, there are some aspects that I really appreciate. I have systems using Modbus TCP as both client and slave. I only made minor tweaks to the sample program supplied with the library. It's not quite as easy as turning an option on or off but once you get it how you want the first time, it's easy to duplicate.

If you're not on the PLCnext Forums, I would also recommend that. There are some very helpful Phoenix Contact employees on there answering questions.

All in all, I've been happy with the choice to use PLCnext.
