Sure. Go ahead and use Greg's tcl extension to interface with the LPLC.

This sounds like something interesting, but at first glance it seems much too big to handle in one go. Maybe you could tackle one component
at a time? Say start off with the winder, or the oven, ...? You know the process better than I, so if you think it isn't too big a job to handle it all at once, then go ahead!
Remember that for the demo you have to make two 'programs'. One that simulates the industrial process, and the other that controls the
process. Probably the HMI showing the current state of the process would be yet a third module.

The box said it requires Windows 95 or better, so I installed Linux
