Specification of Codesys is being driven by customer and I'm being asked to control roughly 100 network connected vfd's for a conveying project in a warehouse. Drives can be ordered with MBUS, PN, or EIP. Drives will also have local IO wired back to them.
With that many network connections to control, plus a few other control systems to integrate with and a SCADA system needing to hit my Codesys app for supervisor control, how would one go about choosing the correct processor for this application? This is my biggest concern. If this was Siemens application, I'd drop an S7-1500 in here and feel confident. My tag count could end up being in several thousand.
I know there are a lot of manufactures that have PLC's capable of running Codesys. Where would I even start with choosing the correct size of processor for this application?
