Need help locating inexpensive Allen Bradley Communication Hardware

[dash]

Series B also supports firmware updates (could be useful when Windows Vista rolls around, who knows what will break).

Hey Dave was that USD?...or your 'Euro' thing that's $250.98USD
but anyway 400 is a good deal

It was USD.

I have only had one problem with my series A (I have a spare for s.a.l.e), and that was when someone set the DH speed to 230K.
A series does not do RIO, the B does (with the correct cable). That's the only other issue.

Hello, I have been using this card for 3 years now instead of the Ab model. I haven't had any connection issues with the SLC or PLC processors.

You can also get a version with the "ruggedized" cable (permanently attached).

They have dual I/O

and quad I/O

EDIT: Forgot to post the current USD prices:

Anyone here think this would work for us?

Hmmm... I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I probably wouldn't have much use for it.
1. Trying to get these things(plc's) to talk properly is always entertaining enough without adding additional components(ie failure points) in the middle.
2. There isn't much that I'd have a desire to talk to from only 30 feet away, that being the current limit on bluetooth.
