So it does look like a replacement for the PvC. It's nice, but given that the PvC is a new-ish product line that A-B is already killing, it kind of makes me a lot more skeptical the next time my A-B rep comes in wanting to show me the 'next big thing.' I don't like that A-B is starting to follow in the footsteps of the numerous fly-by-night, flash-in-the-pan PLC/HMI manufacturers out there, releasing bottom-dollar, bottom-tier products that won't have support or replacements in stock a few years down the line. Haven't played with one yet but it looks like it would likely replace the PvC down the road.It was probably easier to develop a new unit entirely than upgrade the PvC with the new graphics and having both gives the target market, OEMs, time to adjust to the new platform without leaving them high and dry by eliminating the existing line.Functionality wise they look pretty similar with the 800 having a better processor and some improvements to the recipe system, and symbol library.

It also has portrait mode which seems to be one of the marketing highlights. I just developed a PVc and PV800 application side by side this morning and could barely tell the difference. The procedures and dialogs all seem to be the same to me.
I'm not sure what there would really be to 'adjust' to.If this does indeed phase out the PvC I'm not surprised. A faster processor will be nice. It'll be nice if it works out because A-B has really needed a solid replacement for the Panelview Classic line for a long time. Personally I didn't think the PVC really cut it for that.
