As in all decisions, there are trade-offs. IEE supports only V8.2 and later and only equipment that was preferred in that release (so not 100-Series I/O). It also lacks FV integration which can be a big time saver for new projects. IACC supports from V6.4 and later and all station types. It has FV integration. Both IEE and IACC have similar configuration tool sets though IEE is much better looking. If the project is grassroots new, IEE is the better control configuration tool. If the project has any older equipment or could benefit from FV integration, IACC is the better choice. Does that help?
