Jeremy,

What program did you use to design your GUI screen for use with your PLC?

VR
First of all, Welcome to CanReef !!

That's awesome work Jeremy! You've gotten much more progress than I have. Too many projects and so little time.

I finally got in some solid state relays, along with outlets and override switches. I've been devising a plan to build a DIY dosing pump system for balling method

There's a few other guys on RC who have been working on the same stuff here. And also setup a wiki site here.

I'm using these babies for both control and input from sensors.
Easily programmable in Flash (thats what i'm using) or c++ or any language really. They use USB connections to talk to the puter, and you can get your interface to work over the network as well.
