We have device support for the very inexpensive Koyo 205 series 
marketed by automationdirect.com (used to be PLC Direct).  We are 
currently replacing large amounts of relay-based interlocks with 
these PLC's. The protocol is DirectNet over RS232/422.

The current support is implemented over Bitbus, but there are near
term plans to move it to Message Passing Facility.

Contact [email protected] for more info.
