Hello !
Struggling here with choice of technology for a big project.
background: we have always used SIEMENS but after recent hiccups some members of the team voted to switch to Beckhoff. Some other team members claims Beckhoff hardware to not be so reliable/durable and to not be easy to find people able to support and maintain the client, after we leave.
I tried to compare MTBFs of parts but I guess it doesn't represent reality.
Is beckhoff hw as reliable as Siemens (considering actual parts)?
Is the difference in price worth it?
Not to mention we will lose a lot of existing code from our previous projects.
I appreciate any contribution in sharing your opinion
