Chinese PLCs

5 posts in this topic

Has somebody experience with Chinese PLCs like Haiwell. I saw this brand on a Dutch website.
It's cheap, free development tools and free (cloud based) SCADA, simulator build in.
A bit Siemens look-a-like at the outside.
Has somebody done a project with Haiwell? Or with other Chinese PLC brands.
Please let me know about your pro's and con's because my customer wants to use it for packaging machines.

Thanks in advance.

Got anyone local who can support it?  I won't waste time with a product that can't get support for.  That's the first reason i stick to name brands.  Parts and support availability.

You should consider this very carefully.

Crossbow has a very got point here !

Who will give you support when the **** hits the fan ?

Your customer will for sure be on your *** when something goes wrong with his machine.

The Chinese systems are cheap for a reason, and that's not only because lower salory.

Thanks.

Yes, I think so too, that Haiwell is very suitable for OEM's and machine builders. Not so suitable for large projects like water purification plants with a lot of IO
