Hi Guys. I did do alittle searching but nothing came out and answered what I want to know.
Currently, I am helping Design a control system upgrade. The old controller on site is an RTU and will be doing just Metering after the Upgrade, as the site is also getting additional IO
I want to go with a 1769-L33ER CPU at the main cabinet with the new IO for location, but for the 2 other sections on site i want to go with Ethernet remote IO.
I was building it with Compactlogix IO and a AENTR for each rack, but it got me thinking about the Point and Flex IO. I seem to recall that something was being or is discontinued, but i dont remember what. Each Section IO Count will be 16DI,16AI,8DO, 4AO. The potential to upgrade this location again in a year is high (Oil Battery, drilling new wells) Also the Remote IO must be Class1Div2 Rated, which Compactlogix is.
What are your thoughts?
