I need a cheap PLC that has a single analog input and a single analog output. I don't care about the programming interface itself, unless I'm stuck buying a ton of software to do some simple conversions. This is for a customer who wants to do a simple voltage to current conversion. I've offered a custom analog solution (electronic circuitry vice PLC) as well as the PLC solution, and am waiting to hear his response/decision.
I am familiar with most major brands of PLC's. If LOGO! or Pico now do analog inputs and outputs, then either of those would fit the bill. Last time I checked, these were both DI/DO only. I don't want to get an entire system for just this simple change, but I think the customer may not want custom electronics either. I'm just not as up on modern PLC's as many of the folks here. I guess I'm just lazy, but I know that salesmen hang out here sometimes, and this time, their input is actually being solicited.
Having more than one AI/AO would (obviously) not be a problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Wino
