lfe - You may be a little misinformed.
I use the Micro820 in our "Ignition Scada" we have 100's of Micro820 setup as "MQTT" edge of network devices, they are across 7 states.
I use Modbus/TCP at each edge communicating with all kinds of devices((reading and writing arrays of 125) with a single command)) and then all that data is published back to my MQTT Distributor running alongside Ignition.
I read and write to all my tags (You are correct about the "User Defined Datatypes" unless you have the developer edition of CCW then you can even create you own just like Studio-5000)
With Ignition Scada, Micro800 and SQL Database along with MQTT, I have found nothing that can even come close to what this combination offers. (And it's all based around the Micro800 series Plc).
So just to be fair, I want other's to know the Micro800 works and works well if you choose the correct application.
