Hello Everyone,
I work for a machine builder/OEM. We sell several large skids that are controlled by CompactLogix L33ER and the HMI is a PanelView Plus 6 1000.
I have been an AB/Rockwell fanboy for 25 years, but I am at my limit with their pricing, support and lack of advancement.
We pay 10K + a year for software keys and support, and when you call for support, you get attitude.
A 10 inch HMI with limited resolution of 640x480 for $3-4K?? I think the 640x480 resolution dates back to when I started to use RockSoft software, when we switched from Dos to Windows for workgroups.
I was looking to use a 3rd party Panel PC with RunTime ME Station, and discovered that a 250 Display key is over $4k in Canada.
We have reached our limit with Rockwell, and are looking to switch the HMI.
Any suggestions for products that I can look at?
Best regards,
Paul
