Hello to Everyone!
I am looking for Ethernet/IP Distributed In-Cabinet IO Block options to talk to Compact Logix PLC (L36ER).
I only need 3 DO's and 5 DI's (24vdc). However, it wouldn't be terrible to allow for some spares, say 5 DO's and 7 DI's would be good, but not 100% required.
I am looking at Point IO (1734), but was also considering a Micro 820 PLC instead of IO and just send ethernet msg from L36ER to Micro820 and set up a communication loss alarm.
IO speed is not a concern, 1-2 second turn around would be plenty fast.
The IO is Pilot Lights and Push Buttons to control one output which would drive a Solenoid Valve.
Any and all recommendations, feedback, criticism welcome.
Also considering 3rd party Distributed IO.
