For big systemes we will deploy Siemens S7-1500 PLC's and WINCC Scada on 19"Rack Mounted server.....
For smaller systems we will base this round a Simens PLC but what is the best way to do the following
Give 1 or 2 Screens with HMI (touch) in different locations
Data logging say 30-50 Analogs with about 50% at 2Hz and 50% at 1/2Hz frequency retained for 30 days with
I like the idea of using an EXOR Ex715 but the logging capablities are limited
the other engineer keeps wanting to use Microboxs with small Win CC or using a Simens Touch Panels. Im' of the opinion Siemens touch panels and WINCC would need a historian..... !Costly!
My problem is i'm not a Siemens man, I use them and there OK but there is better kit out there and I want to get best abiity out of machine rather than be tied to a single supplier.
