Alan,
I can give you the info on what we used on Pisces VI, but we spent $5,000. Quality was more important than price to us.
Thanks,Scott Waters

Hi,am looking at purchasing a PLC & HMI.Don't know a lot about what I am doing other than I have completed a basicPLC programming course in RSLogix 500.I will be having at least 31 analog & 4 digital inputs and 7 digital & 1 analogoutput plus HMI connection. So most of the input is just for display on theHMI & for alarms.I want the PLC to be as small as possible & have been looking at the AutomationDirect Productivity 1000 stackable Micro PLChttps://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Overview/Catalog/Programmable_Controllers/Productivity_Series_Controllers/Productivity1000_(Stackable_Micro_PLC)This item has just enough analog inputs.Also I am looking at a 7-8" HMI screen. Automation Direct have this item I have beenlooking at...https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/Shopping/Catalog/HMI_(Human_Machine_Interface)/C-more_Touch_Panels/C-more_Touch_Panels_EA9_Series/C-more_EA9_Series_Touch_Panels/EA9-T8CLIs a bit expensive at $999-I envisage I will be designing the graphics; have done a lot with photoshop inthe past & a tiny bit of annimation, so any program that has similarities to thephotoshop format would probably be helpful, however not too concerned about that.Has anybody got any suggestions about suitable PLCs & HMIs or any comments about what I'm looking at. The PLC has a 125V DC input, I couldn't see an IP rating for it. The HMI is IP 25.Cliff, what size screen do you have & are you feeling it is the correct size?Thanks,Alan
