Really? Ok so I don't have a AB price list since the 5069 came out, but looking on Radwell:
5069L310ER Manufactured by ALLEN BRADLEY
PROCESSOR
- COMPACTLOGIX
- 5380 SERIES
- DUAL ETHERNET/IP
- 1MB MEMORY
Weight: 6.804 kgs
Estimated Retail Price - £1,870.73
Compared to L16ER, ~£800... someone with a 2018 official list price care to share?
Not really comparable. L16ER can only use 6 local Point IO modules (8ch max density per slot, 64 IO points) and 4 Ethernet/IP nodes.
L310ER can use 8 local 5069 series IO modules (16ch max density per slot, 128 IO points) and 24 Ethernet/IP nodes.
A closer comparison would be the L306ER but even still this is way ahead of the L16ER supporting 8 local 5069 series modules and 16 EIP nodes.
Personally our company is standardising on the 5069 series moving forward. Have already done a couple of projects with them and have been impressed with the IO modules and ease of wiring. Only disappointing thing so far is no high density IO like 32pt modules but hopefully this might come in the future. Hanging for the 5069 Compact GuardLogix to come out too, hopefully the entry level price point is competitive.
