Efika 5200B Project
Low-cost PLCin category Applications & Software
proposed by edu on 2nd February 2006 (accepted on 11th February 2006)
Project Summary
It is well known that PLC\'s (Programmable Logic Controller) are not cheap.Basic I/O (sensors, actuators) can be added via the USB ports.
The ethernet adapter give us the option of remote control and configuration.
This is an industry device, so there are some problems with electromagnetic noise, overheating, pollution particles,... It must be carefully protected from that.

First of all, it's needed a Linux image. I've got the basic hardware (ati 7000 raedon and a power supply), but a hard disk is the first thing i must buy.
Then, a PLC on Linux project will be installed and suited to Efika.
Das ist fantastish!
