I have a project for a specialized label printer/laminator/die-cutter in the works and the supplier selected in our DA (Decision Analysis) wants to control with the PC (custom C++ app) using remote digital I/O over Ethernet. I am aware of the strengths, weaknesses and precautions to take to ensure best determinism and reliability, but I have no experience with
any of the hardware vendors for this relatively new technology. This is a relatively non-critical application to try a new technology, but I'd like to make a choice that I'd repeat again for the sake of consistency.
As best I can tell, Modbus/TCP protocol would be a wise choice, and WAGO (750series)and Modicon (Momentum) are 2 options with products I would
classify as industrial. I've also had Sixnet mentioned to me but have never heard of it.
I'd appreciate if any of you could share your experiences with these manufacturers with respect to hardware quality, documentation, support,
price/performance ratio, etc.
Has anyone out there done a first hand evaluation of different hardware solutions?
What are some opinions of WAGO "cage clamp?" Honda has been archaically fork-terminal only until recent product availability has forced acceptance of more dense termination designs.
Thanks in advance,
