I have an application where I need to control the loadout process, a 4-10 digital points, remotely from a truck. The truck will stop on a scale, then using a 'industrial garage door opener' initate the process from the cab of the truck. Either the scale or the operator can stop the process. the operator will move the truck during the loadout process to ensure an even distribution of the bulk material.
They do this exact process now, they just get out of the cab and move the hand switches at ground level, jump back into the truck and move it to distribute the load while looking at the scale signboard.
No PLC, though I could get RIO if absolutely necessary. Have worked with remote locomotive systems, but they seem overkill for this application. Looking for something with 4-8 digital signals that would trigger a contact that I could stick into the hardwired circuit.
I know about ControlChief, but I have not looked or worked with their products.
