Hi all,

I am working on a project that with need to capture force sensor data in footplates in order to determine if weight shift is occurring from right-to-left foot and from heel-to-toe. This is going in a robotic gait trainer, the footplates are far away from the electrical cabinet, so I am trying to consider different options for data transfer.

Simplest of course being hardwiring it, but from a mechanical standpoint a Bluetooth transmitter to the PLC (B&R X20) would make sensor integration easier given the system design. Does anyone have experience with Bluetooth and PLC data transfer or have any input on this, Thanks!
