One tool to rule them all (Rockwell PLC's)

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Sturio 5000 to program AB PLC's, mainly from the Compact Logix family of controllers. There's not much to say about the problems it solves, it's the most important tool for programing Rockwell PLC's and there aren't other options as far as I know, so basically I have to use it in any case, being it good or bad. All that being said, I do use other tools for Omron PLC's, and I can compare both in terms of easiness of use and tools (and price). AB is many times more expensive tham Omron, so for any given project I would choose Omron, but in the practice it is the client who sets his/her own standard and we have to adhere to it.

Pros

  • The tag system it uses for programming makes it easier than other softwares
  • Programming Rockwell PLC's
  • The management of the ladder code is easier

Cons

  • Price, it's realy expensive
  • Sometimes configuring communication with other devices can be hard
  • I'd like the ability to programm with languages such as C or Python

Likelihood to Recommend

As I said before, it's the only tool known to man capable of programming Rockwell PLC's, so if any colleague needed to program one I 100% would recommend it. So, this software is appropiate only when using Rockwell PLC's. As far as I know it would program any other brand.
