I will be communicating using the following Protocols And I would also like Built in Data Logging. So now, let’s go back to the selection tool, and apply this criteria. Now, as we add in our criteria on the left, the list of PLCs available that meet these criteria, will reduce on the right. Now that I have filled out, all of the fields, that I need, I have reduced down to 4 PLC options that are listed from the lowest price to the highest price.
