Hey everybody,
I got an offers from integrators for production line : conveyor, 8-10 robot - some scara some 6 axis + few processes. But mostly vision and pick and place on conveyor.
One integrator offered everything on 1 Beckhoff IPC EtherCAT, other integrator offered 4 Siemens PLCs 1517F on Profinet.
I was working as integrator before in automotive and on line with this amount of robots (or more) we were using 1 Siemens 1516F.
I do not know yet the answer from them but can you wise people see why would they offer so many PLC devices? Are there any advantages?
Is beckhoff that superior compared to siemens?
