Combined HMI-PLC experience.
(OP)
I am looking into updating the control panels we use for our OEM Mixing systems.
We currently have panels made up of push buttons, relays several red-lion process controllers and VFD.
There seems to be a variety of HMI / PLC combo units capable of multiple I/O and analog inputs.
Does anyone have experience with any of these units. I would like to keep cost down but not sacrifice maintainability by plant maintenance resources.
Like to stay away from obscure and proprietary software etc.

There are several sizes and price ranges all use the same I/O, drivers and software. Very reliable. The only down today is that for Ethernet I/O it is only Modbus TCP/IP. Profinet is coming I am told.
