Can I please have some advice concerning AB programming facilities. Previously I have mainly had experience with Siemens S7 programming and I am about to leap into the world of AB.
The system I have is a boilerhouse control system with 3 SLC 5/04 CPU's joined via the DH+ comm's system.
I plan to access the system from my laptop which is a Toshiba Satellite 2590XDVD with Celeron 400 MHz processor, 64 MB RAM, 6 GB hard drive storage with 4 GB free.
My local AB supplier tells me I need the following-
RSLOGIX 500 programming software which includes RSLINX LITE.
RS232C program cable.
PCMCIA Data highway + comm's card
Companion For SLC500 Information package (recommended only, not essential).
All of this totals about OZ$7,000.00 which is quite substantial and hence I'm trying to make sure there isn't a more suitable alternative.
I would welcome any comments/advice.
