OEM PLC analog comparison requiring a minimum number of digital I/O

From Development to Production!

In our last comparison we evaluated the analog capabilities of the Smart-PAK PLUS with several well known micro PLCs and discovered that their capabilities weren’t even close to what the Smart-PAK PLUS can provide.

How will the Smart-PAK PLUS compare to other embedded PLCs on the market when it comes to analog capabilities?

To answer that question, let’s look at what the Smart-PAK PLUS offers in comparison with other embedded PLCs on the market today.
