I know the difference between PLC and microcontroller. MY question is how Et200s, S7-300, s7-1500
and S7-400 stands compare to some microcontroller. For an example Atmega16 can work on a maximum frequency of 16MHz. Whats the CPU speed of the mentioned CPUs.
Why do I ask this? Well we have need(my company) to do something what normal logic says to use microcontrolell but since we are working mostly with PLCs andd in order to save time/money I'm actually wondering can we do same job with PLC since we are handling with PLC at the moment and certainly not with microcontrollers.
PLC/microcontroller would need to measure AC current and regulate electrical unit according that measurement.
