Options can be a trap.
First you need to figure out if you have any need to continuously monitor whatever the starter is doing.
Then you need to know if you have the capabilities to monitor it.
Then you need to see if you have a way to connect everything up.
If the salesman talks you into buying the communications node he won't tell you that you now need to buy a SCADA system...even if there's only 1 thing to monitor. Then after you have the new starters and the new SCADA system you need to run wiring (or fiber) to connect things together.
My first question is "since we have never monitored this before why do we need to now"?
If there's no good reason to monitor it in real time the communications option is just a waste of money.
