-7 Digital inputs [24V]
-1 Analog input [4-20mA]

The productivity series of PLC's are good. They have an established base and are reliable. Tech support is also well done.
Software is a free download.

Analog and temperature inputs and analog outputs are the reason your price is so high.  Those are not cheap, on any PLC.  You're talking about 30 analog inputs (including the temperature ones) and 5 outputs.  That's a lot for most small PLCs.

For the last few years now, we use Omron NX remote IO. With these price per Analog Input/Output drop a lot compare to PLC Rack card. You can use Omron PLC or you can use your PLC brand with Ethernet/IP communication.
