Gotcha. Basically, it's a deal to run automated manufacturing equipment, right?

Not just manufacturing equipment. I have numerous PLC's that control security gates, fire systems, and a backup power plant (nGas Generator) for my datacenter. Think of them as programmable workers that do one job and never sleep.

I know of at least one jail in Anaheim that runs off of a GE Fanuc PLC.

Yep GE is another brand, but they dont do as well here in california. I see alot of them in the waste water or state agencies. They are cheaper than the Allen Bradley.

Hmm, Lee needs to invest in a PLC to remove and replace cylinder heads...

How do they not do well in Cali?

We have used Omiron and Square D in some of our older jobs, but pretty much all of our new jails get GE PLC's. They have been extremely reliable for us and they have a small footprint on the subpanels. Our programmers have told me that some of the programming features make them a lot easier to work with.

Of course, all I do is lay them out on the subpanel drawings and design the I/O schedules for them.

Not to sure, I think it is just who is has the market. I have been programming PLC's for over ten years, and I have only had the chance to program one GE 9030. The rest have been Allen Bradley or some other brand.

We have used PLC direct, SCADA Pac, Micro Logics, Control Logics, SLC, PLC 5, Delta V, Modicon, and a few others. We have also been programming DCS's.
