I think that if we're looking for a system for my plant I have to consider all the options and prices, of course, but also the learning curve and how easy is to programe the PLC for me and the maintenance people.
AB is more expensive than Omron and others, but it's very easy to create a project because the software do a lot of things for us in the background and everything is quite integrated. AB products are very easy to communicate between them.
Siemens or Modicon are as much as expensive as AB, but their software is more difficult to use and the communications aren't as fast to implement.
Depends on your plant's philosophy, you might want to spend time (money) doing some job that with other software could be faster (cheaper) but with a cheap software OR spend little time in learning and developing but more money in software.
The first example is cheaper at medium term, but the latter is more cheaper at long term... it depends on you...
