basic stamp PLC

hey ron -->
your little plc board is very COOL
i have been playing around with the stamps for 1/2 a year now
never seen anything like what you made!
i thought about building one just like yours at one point
then i started making projects with the stamp
i realized the stamp is no match to any PLC for the matter of
reliability
you can do many great things with a stamp interfaced to a plc
i currently have a project that involves a 11 channel - 12 bit - 0-5 vdc
analog
input chip that sends serial to the stamp then the stamp sends serial to
a chip that converts it to 5 vdc TTL parallel then in to a TTL PLC input
card
it is pretty good speed wise (but not as fast as a (expensive) analog
PLC card)
also you can go on eBay and buy a AB micrologix for $100 or so
(with has 20 ins and 12 outs)(granted you have the software and cable)
i can see in your picture(one in the panel) the separate relay--
so if you want to use all 7 outputs as relays you have 7 seperate relays
or do you have different modles such as the PLCs?
i'm wondering generally what kind of stuff you control with these?
i'm wondering what brands of PLCs you have delt with
and do you know of any plc groups like this stamp one?
i don't have pictures of it right now but i will soon

the Stamp controllers is available.
BSIO Modules
All inputs are opto-isolated allowing for a good deal of flexibility.
The Inputs are easily configured to use with both flavors of
industrial 24 volt sensors both PNP and NPN optical photo sensors, or
proximity sensors. The Inputs will also accept switches or contacts,
various photo transistors and hall effect sensors with open
collectors. Input Sensors derive their power from the 4 terminal
input connections. Thus there is no need to assemble a large section
of DIN Rail terminal blocks to distribute power to Sensors. A DIN
Rail fuse block is recommended to power up this module.
TO-92 Darlingtons are used as open collectors on the BSIO16 Module.
Outputs have a 500 ma capacity nominal, with flyback diodes on the
board for protection against inductive spikes when coupled with
pneumatic solenoids, relays or motors. ULN2803 Driver is used on the
BSIO32 with 100-200 ma per output.
Other features include a 5 volt Switching Regulator: This results in
high efficiency and low heat when converting from 24 VDC to 5 volts
with a 1.5 Amp Capacity @ 5 volts, should one wish to use a power
hungry VFD Display with this module. An LCD output connector is
configured for a pin to pin mate with a Serial LCD Backpack
Interface.
These Controllers come with DIN rail holder ready for your mounting.
The BSIO16 module with DIN rail mounting with a BSII or BSIIe CPU is
available for $349.00, without the BSII CPU, the module is $289.00.
The BSIO32 module with DIN rail mounting and BSII40p CPU is available
for $499.00 without BSII40p (if you have one already) then the module
is available for $389.00.
The BSIO32 has two direct I/O connection ports to allow the use of
microwire, in the addressing of specialty chips, such as ADC's, DAC's,
and EEPROM's.

Yeah, if memory serves me RSLogix 500 costs nearly $1000!!! Better stick
with a stamp if possible... Plus the bug fixes and upgrades are free at
Parallax.
interested. 8 inputs, 6 outputs. See the Micro 1 at http://www.idec.com

package. That software will do most every thing except the
higher end SLC 500 stuff. (5/04 and 5/05) It was $499.00
You then have a year to upgrade to the full version for a
discounted price.
Looking forward to receiving it.
