I have to agree with you Russ. GE tech. support is way better than AB and I have used AB for over 20 years!!!!

Like Ken said, Siemens is a great platform. I worked, as a tech., for a company that had AB and Siemens PLCs in the different machines. The majority of the techs., including me, struggled with the Siemens software for programming and troubleshooting. We all where used to AB not the Siemens. Once one of the techs. was proficient with the Siemens and could explain it to us it was easier, not as easy as AB, to use. If you want Siemens make sure that you have someone there that can handle it.

I have those days also!!!!

Thanks for the information guys. I really appreciate it and will now talk to the electrician that ordered this.

I have a motion detector that controls overhead lights that I need to install in a hazardous area. The detector is a 3 wire, +24VDC, 24V return, and Signal. My question is, do any of you have any suggestions on type or brand? I haven't had much experience with intrinsic barriers. Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks, Seth
