Getting back into programming. I have sporadic experience in programming from the SLC 500's in the early 90's to relearning StudioLogix in 2014, which helped me get a job where I only used my Instrumentation and Controls skills, not PLC's.
Now I want to purchase a fully capable Logix Designer 5000 software license as opposed to what I think was called mini as I did last time, then buy a PLC and get back to my area of 20 years in Water and Waste Water controls.
I will be checking other sources due to the amount of investment required (maybe $4,000 for the software now???)
I thought the fully capable software was 5 grand last time, but I saw prices for 3,400 on line today, but question that.
So my question is this, Are we due a massive Rockwell change soon? Is Logix designer the way to go, (I will also get advice from the salesman, and be purchasing a PLC as well to return to full steam in programming, then an HMI and etc...)
I have limited experience in LOGO and expect to concentrate on Rockwell.
Also, serious thanks to you all for all the help around 014, it helped me get a job for Colorado Springs Utilities. Any advice is welcomed.
