Allen Bradley PanelView Component? Yeah or Nay?
Allen Bradley PanelView Component? Yeah or Nay?
(OP)
I have a small automation project we're working on which will use an AB Micrologix1200 processor. I need a low cost HMI and am considering the AB PanelView Component family, which I have never used before. I know there were some serious issues with programming speed/latency, validation, etc. in the past. Not sure if these have been rectified.
I'm looking at the 6" or 10" color flavors over ethernet.
Any general comments on this product would be appreciated. Also, any recommended 3rd party HMI's that would work nicely w/ this Micrologix 1200 w/o too much handshaking effort?

My experience with them to date has been ok, not great, earlier panels seemed to have a lot of issues with validating a project, this last time round it went much better. Not much in the way of a graphics library, but it does the job in my case.
Hope that helps, Mike L.
