I am not too familiar with the Schneider family of PLCs .. but I have a client that wants to upgrade from a Momentum to something newer. They had suggested the M340, which is fine, however isn't that getting a bit long in the tooth? There are several other sites (100+) that will need to be upgraded over time too.
I would just hate to make a recommendation based on outdated or near EOL platform without knowing a timeline that the last site would get upgraded. Could be 10 years from now. They are trying to standardize on something now. Would the M580 be a better bet? They are fairly simple sites with about 40 I/O so a ton of processing power is not required at all.
This begs the question about software - will this older Proworx convert nicely into Control Expert? Are there any things I should look out for?
I have an active ticket with Schneider support, but I am looking for suggestions here as well while I wait for a phone call back.
Thanks
