Hi,
I have a project to replace an old BBC Procontic B PLC by a modern PLC on a Flexographic Printer for plastic film. The app is quite simple, 152 I/Os, no HMI, no analog, no PIDs, no motion..., only bit logic and timers.
Since I have become used to Allen Bradley PLCs I proposed my client an AB CompactLogix config with a list price of 7,000 usd
My client asked me to look for a less expensive alternative and that is why I am asking you for recommendations.
My preference is something with free and quick to learn software.
Thank you
The reason to replace the PLC is that the CPU broke down, I have already looked for an AB micro config but none suits the needs.
I am kind of inclined towards the AutomationDirect brand although I am not familiarized with it at all
