I'm new to the whole automation thing. What is the ideal application for these systems?
1) Reliance/AutoMAX
2) PLC-5
3) ControlLogix
This is my understanding of it. ControlLogix and PLC-5 can do pretty much the same thing for monitoring I/O and turning on I/O. But ControlLogix has the additional ability to do motion control, where as PLC-5 doesn't. In PLC-5 systems, motion control is done using SLC?
I really can't concisely describe what AutoMAX does. Reliance makes AutoMAX right? It seems like an "AutoMAX rack" has a processor, I/O, and communication cards. But... what does that do for you? It can do stuff like... hold system wide variables?
