I'll chime in on this PLC thing. I have a lot of experience using

I always found PLC ladder logic to be difficult and arcane. I do know
the folks that do this can whip out a control program quickly.

If you don't have a fella with great aptitude for this sort of thing

worth it.

Assembly language...

No secrets, not high level help, total responsibility,
but total control.


Then write any damned thing you want...
