So,
In case anybody knows...
Could you please explain to me, however briefly, the difference between the models listed below. What I am looking for is an idea of max I/O allowed, ease of use, and cost. Let's assume a design that has 24DI, 16DO, 8AI, and 4AO for the sake of standardization. I also would like to be able to communicate with modbus slaves as a master device, so built-in modbus is nice. Add-on cards for modbus may be acceptable too, if other functionality can be retained. I also need to know a little bit about what DeviceNet is, because one of the jobs we may bid for requires DeviceNet compatibility. The A-B distributor gave me the sales demonstration, but there is still a lot of question in my mind about which one to go with, since we will pretty much cast our lot with whatever we choose. If you feel long winded, maybe a similar primer related to A-B HMI's.
1. MicroLogix/SLC500 (RSView 500 software models)
2. CompactLogix/ControlLogix (RSView 5000 software models)
I think that is how the products lay out.
Thanks.
