Re: Field Electronics

They are using panelviews & I assume an Allen Bradley PLC to tie all the logic together. The programming tools you need to change any of the source code is very expensive & has a bit of a learning curve. Unless you know somebody that already has the tools, that is another cost to factor in.

All in all, a lot of cost for something that is going to change in Jan.
