Just doing a job with the Schneider dual rack system - needed the latest software - damned expensive and support/update only lasts 12 months then one has to pay a heap again. It took 7 weeks to come from France? Very poor service. I started using a trial version - it ran out - had to go and buy a new laptop to use the trial version again as the software plants a file somewhere on the computer to stop you using another install of the trial version. Fair enough IF you can get the real version in a reasonable time. Not good for mine. Never again one would suggest. And the software is pretty painful as well.
Yes - very happy with Omron and just as powerful as the rest of the so called big guys. Have not become involved in the silly PAC controller rubbish either! LOL
