#140061 - an xcellent idea
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Do some research. You'll have a working, robust solution using a PLC much faster than trying to cobble something up yourself. At the minumum, using a PLC you can show a working concept quickly to give everyone a warm, fuzzy feeling.

I would not consider "to give everyone a warm, fuzzy feeling" the most important advantage of what Russell suggest. I would use this approach to get to know all pitfalls and pratfalls in the implementation using "known good" stuff before committing to a design be that PLC or custom circuitry.
