Idec MicroSmart vs. Telemechanique Twido

[mjisaacs]

I saw a blurb somewhere one time that Idec MicroSmart series PLRs were rebranded Twido's (or the opposite). I have never used the Idec series, but have a customer that needs a change made to one he has in his machine. I have used Twido, have the software, and the cable (both USB and serial versions). Is this a true statement, and, if so, are the cables interchangeable? Also, is the Twido software going to work with the Idec?

Twido is rebranded IDEC. Software and cables will not work as IDEC makes only the hardware.
