It obviously depends on the clients requirements.

Both technical and budget has to be considered.

If the sensor inputs are minimum and consist of only digital inputs then Allen Bradley Plc are a good option.

If analog data has to be encountered and if there is possibility of future expansion of industry then Siemens and GEFANUC can be considered.

ABB also provide high end plcs

For small budget Chinese made Delta plc can be considered.

working with generators , there are many types and brands that you could work with .

Comap is cheap and somehow dependable and easily to deal with .

Siemens is great but somehow extremely sensitive to fluctuations .

ABB is good . powerwizard . and deepsea are also dependable but they all depend on the working condition you use them within

Selection of PLC depends upon many factors such as

1.Number of inputs and outputs:-If we are having an application which has less number of I/O then we use micro type of PLC instead of rack type PLC.

2.Operational Speed.

3.Cost:

4.Make

Mostly it depends on customer requirements and budget, but as per my opinion Siemens is best PlC for industrial purpose because if we want some expansion in future then it is easily possible in Siemens and it is very reliable.
