I was hunting an inexpensive alternative to the AB 1769-L30ER I have.
We use a product that needs multiple E/IP connections. The CompactLogix allow you to have 4,8,16 nodes of E/IP depending on which model you purchase but the more nodes you require the more your bill increases. (and their stuff is already pretty pricey)
This PLC will only require E/IP communication in the I/O tree, no discrete I/O. It would need to be able to import an .eds file to configure these modules.
I looked at Automation Direct's line ($255-$599)but they only allow for 4 E/IP connections. My thought is that has to be some other PLC that can get me 16 connections but not cost $3k.
Any suggestions?
