I’ve never used a PLC before but have found myself looking at a job which is going to put me onto that particular learning curve.
This is for lighting control, nothing to do with machinery or similar applications.
I’ve done a bit of research comparing features, price, availability, reviews etc and come to the conclusion that Siemens look like a pretty good bet. Does anyone here with experience in the field have advice? Are Siemens a popular unit or are they one to avoid?
I have looked at Siemens logo smart relays for other jobs and trialled them in demo software and found it to be pretty good but never actually got to using one.
I don’t think a smart relay will do this job as all the ones I’ve looked at don’t have enough I/O for what I need. At the moment I’m looking at 24 push button inputs and 48 outputs (based on the old, failing, system)
