I'm looking to cut costs on a machine.
I was thinking of using Ignition HMI on a Panel PC with Rockwell Softlogix for the PLC. Is this viable? I have 2 hydraulic axis to control via Point I/O cards.
I'm just a little awestruck with the price for a 7" PanelView not to mention the price tag for a Compactlogix.
Our standard is Beckhoff, which with a VB.NET HMI costs considerably less but obviously lots of people want AB.
