We have been using a "koyo" dl06 and communicating to it well over Modbus TCP, we read inputs and set outputs at a high rate, 4-10 times a second. Have working systems in place for over 10 years. Controlling an asphalt loadout system.
Our inputs and outputs are 120vac and would prefer a plc able to interface directly as opposed to "stepping it down" for the inputs.
I have a consulting client who wants to build a system similar to what we already have but is interested in using REST API calls to do the communication instead of Modbus TCP.
In your opinion are REST API calls up to the task? Any PLC manufacturers out there you can recommend?
