What's the Funny Looking PLC Showing on AD's PLC Page?
« on: February 20, 2017, 09:12:49 PM »
It's not hardly big enough to see but it is the picture for Do-more Series PLCs (Micro Modular & Stackable).

Hmmm...wonder what that is? ;)

Hypothetically, if that is what you think, I'd say that is the largest of three models. Just guessing, of course. ;D

OK, I found it. Now I need to find the ice pick to chip the glazing off of my eyeballs so I can look some more. I lost count of the different models (38?!) and didn't even try on the options.

I hope AD keeps a good inventory!

Many of these look ideal for OEM use, but I can see running short on I/O unintentionally for feature creep after picking a lean model for integrator's use. (Reminder to self. :))

I will wait until I have at least a simulator to play with the axis stuff, but preferably a real one on my desk.

LEGO... LEGO... why do I keep thinking of LEGO?

This certainly does not look like Host was just testing the waters!

I don't think it is overstated to say that we bet the company on BRX. If we're testing the waters, we are doing so from 50ft cliff.

I got home late after too long of a day to play with the software, but I would like to know if DmD 2.0 will work on WinXP. I know it is not supported, but will it maybe work?

I really, really don't like Windows 7 and don't want to try anything newer either really.

Also, do we need to keep DmD 1.4.3 when we load DmD 2.0.2, or will 2.0.2 handle the non-BRX, or, or, just be patient or what?

It seems to create a new instance of the DMD by default. At present, I have 1.3.1, 1.4.3, and 2.0.2 on my machine.
