I have a Keyence PLC that I want to connect to a PC. Has anyone used inexpensive PCI cards that can handle I/O to launch audio files or just commands in general. I looked at Automation Direct and they offer no such products. I thought of using RS-232 port but I can't program in VB (yet)
Before I get obvious negative comments, I have looked for prior posts and nothing came up.
Basically I want to set up a cheap and simple setup for Halloween using a PLC, sensors, valves to control animitronic characters and lighting using a PLC that I know and have readily available.
I would like to activate the program using stragically placed sensors and timers to start certain sound effects running off a PC through outputs commanded from the PLC.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
