Hi Dick! Yes, I would like to use ABB. We had two ABB drives that no one knew about until about a year ago, when one of my former colleagues miswired the analog references to them and blew their input cards...we had PF700 on the shelf to replace them so they're gone now.
Those were trouble free for ten years, and the boss knows that, so we'll do some price comparisons and see what they want to do.
From A/B, I like the "Architecture Series", but the "Component Series" has had a poor track record here. Those names are quite fitting, actually. The Powerflex 700s seem to be as reliable as column posts (part of the architecture), while the 4s and 40s are some of the more frequently failed and replaced "components" of our operation.
