Stan, We are using 6 AB Stations rather than Integrator 30s at my plant. I don't have a basis for comparison, but I can certainly tell you a little about our AB Stations. The main reason to go with these for us was to keep setup fairly simple -- setup and continuing work on the stations is

You have really opened up a can of worms here, Stan. We use Integrator 30s at our plant. They cause a lot of pain in both set up and operator usage. The work is done in the PLC 5s and the I/A is used for operator interface. The Basic Processing Cycle of the AB Gateways is 2 seconds. Our
