Hello everyone,
I'm really interested in playing with PLCs, i'm thinking of picking up a TECO GENIE II SG2, its relatively inexpensive. As for the power supply, instead of buying the TECO power supply, can I just use my laptop power adapter or a simple plugin 110VAC to 24VDC converter (like router power supply, only that is 12V) and use it with a DC Female Converter from ebay (the one in the picture)?
In the installation instructions it also recommends that you use a surge absorber, can you recommend any please (i've never seen one).
I'm also open to other micro-controllers or other low cost PLC/PLR/PLD/PIC
Eventually what I would like to do with the controllers that i will get is to build a simple door opener, similar to the ones at the mall.
Thank you for the help
