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.
