You don't just buy the thing, slap it in a panel, and call it good. The way I explain it to my customer is this: any money you save in hardware will probably be more than made up for in increased engineering labor. Who specs a PV800 as their only HMI? What happens when they need it to do something the 800 isn't capable of? Sorry, I'm done now, just had to vent before I pull another all-nighter just "because" I still can't figure out how they still have such a large presence with this same old thing all the time, especially when there are so many more much more capable/easier/reliable/cheaper options out there. In almost 30 years of doing this work I have never been so absolutely livid towards a brand, every time I get told a project is going to be AB I know it's going to be something, always is, but I'm really losing patience with it. But when you get this close to completion and save the project and it deletes every single read and write tag in every single object on every single screen in the entire project. But this thing is without a doubt one of the worst HMI's I have ever worked with, touch response times are atrocious, display response times mediocre at best, only 50 screens? 200 external tags? seriously? okay, I'll just be creative and work through it, it'll just take even longer. Yes it's bad enough that a customer requests a specific PLC/HMI and that just happens to be a PV800 HMI. This might belong in r/rant but just when you don't think it can get any worse.
