To choose the package that best suits your application, you must first analyze its needs. Some examples:
- A small application, using a specific machine, operating locally.
Our suggestion: E3 Lite, if you expect only a limited expansion for your application. - An application that controls an industrial plant or several devices, operated from any computer accessing the company’s network.
Our suggestion: E3 Server, which is completely flexible to incorporate new modules or components to it. - An application that doesn’t require any operators, and works as a connection module between devices.
Our suggestion: E3 Gateway, because it can use the option Viewer Only (no operation), in addition to I/O drivers.
