Unilogic or Visilogic?

[nickr]

I am a mechanical engineer very new to PLC and ladder logic but I am working on a new automation project for my job where they want a PLC with an HMI to run 3 different stepper motors (1 of which is a 9 pin output stepper with gear reduction) and I want to know which option would be best for an application like this. The operation is (simply) as follows: Have an operator input some number at the HMI, the number runs to motor to a specific location and then stops. repeat this for the other 2 motors and then complete and reset the cycle back to a designated zero. I would love some feedback from anyone who can help!

All I can say is that the Unilogic support staff, the youtube videos and the general ease of the software/programming side is all amazing. From what you're saying it seems like a job that Unilogics can do but I can't compare the two as I've only been working with Unilogics for a few weeks now.

On the other hand, this sounds like a job that a Vision PLC can handle (even the very cheap ones). UniStream PLCs on the other hand have lots of capabilities that you don't need and it cost more.

You should contact out support and advise for the best suitable PLC for your needs.
