We are going to be installing a HVAC application in our facility and I am planning on using a DL450 or a DL260 for process control. We currently have been using ABB drives throughout our plant and I would like to try a drive that AutomationDirect offers. We will be controlling the supply air flow, the size of the motor is 10hp and the exhaust fan is 10hp also. We want to be able to control the supply and exhaust flow with a 4-20ma signal. I was planning on using the PID loop in the PLC for control. Might consider using the PID loop of the drive but would like someone's opinion. Thanks in advance.

I prefer using the PLC if I have it. This provides a lot more flexibility and a lot more options.
