Maybe it's just me but I get the impression in my industry (water and wastewater) that Contrologix is not widely accepted, or at least not nearly as accepted as SLC and PLC series gear. I'm curious as to why that is.
I design control and SCADA systems that use plcs but I don't program them. I leave that to experts like yourselves. Yup, I'm an engineer (civil) but please don't hold that against me. As a person who doesn't program plcs, I'm ignorant to the ease or difficulties of actually working with the various lines of plcs available. I try to use the best available technology for our clients but have to rely on information gained from integrators, vendors and sites like this (which is excellent, btw) to keep abreast of what's truly "best". Our industry, being somewhat conservative, tends to avoid using the leading edge just because it's possible . Tom Jenkins can probably attest to this. I'm just curious if the Contrologix avoidance is another symptom of that conservatism or if there's something else that people just don't like about it.
Thanks in advance.
