I'm considering adding I/O from existing SLCs to nearby motor control panels to add sequenced starting and other rather simple automation features. Will probably use SLC parts I have on hand, or maybe Flex I/O or Point I/O.
I encountered RIO on a large scale in a previous plant and was impressed with its reliability, which is an important factor here.
Is RIO still a viable choice for high reliability, low node count device level networking, or is it on its way out?
Would you go this route in my circumstance, or opt for Ethernet/IP, DeviceNet, or something else?
