I have a retrofit project coming up with a press of ours, Current setup is an Omron that went up in smoke, so I'm going with my bread and butter which is currently s7-1200.
We have recently been buying refurbs from our HQ in Germany, but we don't have time to go that route, so I am trying to do it internally. I planned to use a MP177 HMI with the project, but after placing the PO I was informed that that HMI is only available in a Refurb from Siemens......
The reason I spec'd the MP177 is it had available dial indicator graphic which can be used as an Encoder readout, which is useful when working with presses. Wondering if anyone has any information on what the newer equivalent might be. I am running low on time, so I may even consider another brand that easily interfaces with profinet.
Thanks in advance.
