This powerful combination of Operator Interface, high performance CPU and a very SENSIBLE real world I/O system makes EZSeries TextPLC extremely competitive even when compared to Embedded Controllers or proprietary microcontroller boards.

Many OEMs in the past designed their own microprocessor boards to achieve a low cost point for their high volume, low end machines. The proprietary software is hard to maintain costing the OEM major amounts of money to deal with obsolete parts or make any change. The EZSeries TextPLC has achieved an incredible price point for CPU, I/O and network connectivity.

At a cost of about $300 for the EZSeries TextPLC, even in single piece quantities, proprietary microcontroller boards no longer make any sense.
