Hi all
I am trying to find parallel DIO cards that would be acceptable to the automation market. There are hundreds available, but I want a basic low cost card to be the "base I/O" for the LPLC project. I want something that people can afford to buy and use to evaluate the first pass PLC code I am writing. The suggestion was made to use the parallel printer port and I almost did, but, I want something that can handle "real" automation levels of 24VDC in and out. I also entertained
the idea of using OPTO22 hardware, but, I think that's too expensive for someone who just wants to try out the code.
Later on, I can add the high speed DMA enabled DIO that will let us compete with anyone for speed, but for now, Im looking for something that won't scare off people who want to help test or develop.
What's out there ?
Thanks
