Hey guys, I am faced with making a tough decision of choosing between a Red Lion G3 series HMI and a Uticor Tough Panel. I have heard great things about the Red Lion, but not much of anything about the Uticor.
The Red Lion is cheaper. However the Uticor would be able to communicate with the vast majority of our PLCs (PLC 5/SLC/CxLogix) using DH+/Ethernet. The Red Lion does not have DH+. It would be able to communicate with a lot of these PLCs using serial but there will be about 15 or so Out of 100, that do not have serial capability.
Does anyone have any general experience with Uticor? It looks like the better route, I just hate to give up on Red Lion as they are highly recommended here.
Thanks
John
