If the company pushes back about wanting the project done with AB (especially if they say anything about their employees having experience with AB), realize that they don't even have a copy of the AB software themselves and so are full of shit.CompactLogix5370 ControlLogix5500 SoftLogix5800 Compact GuardLogix5300 GuardLogix5500Īt first glance, this seems to be an excellent choice for maintenance technicians however, the inability to make even minor tweaks to a program could render a machine inoperable until a programmer can arrive.

You can reuse the other stuff they have, like power supplies and sensors.

If there is any expectation either from the school or the company that you should pay for anything, abandoned the AB PLC and get the cheapest PLC and IO you can on (the ones that have free programming software). If they won't pay for the software in a timely manner (giving you enough time to actually learn it and program the PLC with it), report them to your school (your project advisor and/or the engineering department's business relations person). Whatever you do, don't pay for any of it and don't pirate the software I wouldn't even take anyone up on any offers of letting you use the software.
