Hello All,
I have a requirement for a PLC and SCADA application.
What I want from you guys if possible is your recommendations and experiences with the different types that you have worked with in the past. Basically, which PLC and SCADA solution works well.
The project has a relatively small I/O count, up to 50 digital in and 40 digital out for the PLC. I prefer using the Allen-Bradley SLC500 PLC but I have used most of the major manufacturers in the past and would also consider using Siemens, Mitsubishi or Telemecanique.
The main features that it must possess are:
*Simple SCADA functionality running on a windows based pc allowing operators to press pushbuttons, display alarms, display text/messages, turn on/off graphics, log alarms etc.
*Allow remote dial up/monitoring if possible of both the PLC and SCADA.
*The client has requested an extended warranty so it must be well supported and have any hardware spares readily available.
*Naturally be cost effective.
*And be able to password protect the source code if possible!
Please let me know your thoughts, any suggestions would be most welcome.
Please feel free to attach any web links that may help.
