But how much time does Rockwell need to get CCW right? Seems to me they've had plenty of time already. Clumsy software and I've found the hardware (Micro 820s) isn't overly robust either.
I think my future 1400 projects will be moving to a different brand. It's too bad. The 1400 was a great tool in the box.
They have had plenty of time to get it right. I was being a little sarcastic.
I hate to see ML1400 (and RSLogix 500) go away as well. But if I am going to have to learn something new like CCW thats tied to hardware I can't get for 8 months, with a price that just goes up and up, from a company that acts like I owe them something, I'm also thinking it might be a good time to make a jump to another brand? What, though?
Automation Direct? Maybe a matter of training but I have struggled when I've had to jump in the middle of someone else's programming.
Codesys? I've had to come in on some Wago stuff and didn't mind it much. Codesys seems to be more future proof.
Mitsubishi? I've got the software loaded and a quote for a starter kit in my hands right now. The software looks and feels modern but I haven't used it to speak of.
Idec? Don't laugh. I got in on a system and made alot of changes and NEVER had a problem with the operation of the software.
What about others that would be the easiest jump for someone familiar with RSLogix500 and Micrologix?
