1）从影响成本的各个因素综合考虑从目前生产设备控制装置来说，有三种类型：①继电器控制。②半导体器件控制。③PLC控制。
价格仅是选择PLC品牌的一个因素，而可靠性是选择时需要考虑的又一个因素。
（2）从设计、生产周期长短考虑不论是老设备改造，还是设计新的生产机械设备，毫无疑问，生产、设计周期越短越好，甚至希望边设计、边安装、边调试和边生产，特别是产品更新换代，生产工艺改造，不需改动现有生产设备及其外部接线，就能马上组织生产，这不仅节约了劳动力，而且新产品能尽快投入市场。这无疑给企业增加了活力，提高了经济效益。如果把这些要求得以实现，继电器或半导体都不能满足，而PLC则完全可以实现。这是因为若用PLC不必改动外部设备接线，只要在软件上作文章就可以了。也就是说只要改变梯形图，按照新工艺要求重新输入新程序或修改原程序即可。这既经济又简捷，可以达到事半功倍的目的。
engineering applications
The cost of software becomes increasingly important. Generally speaking, a self
The engineering application software cost of the automation project accounts for about the entire project.
About 50%, it is not difficult to see that the migration of cost structure creates a lot of innovation for users.
Create an opportunity to optimize project investment, therefore, it is necessary to start from engineering programming
Think about lowering costs in the first place!
This is what we developed the Freelance 800F system for:
Keeping hardware prices consistent with those of programmable logic controllers
In this way, cost efficiency can be improved by reducing user engineering costs.
