Motor Control PLC with a PIC

[mister_e]

If you already know the pricing of the competition, but you don't know how much time you need to spend on... it's hard to quote something reasonable.

But on another hand, it could be a nice core for something else on another area. Kind of stuff you sole the IDE first, then plug-ins (or SDK).

1. How much person will buy it
2. How much you can extend this
3. Can this be a single developpement tool
4. Can this replace a compiler
5. Can this allow you to create development board OR dedicated pre-programmed chip
6. Do you have to include some 'Disclaimer' or assume some potential behaviour, material damage

may lead you to the final decision.

Can also be something like Easy HID. It do the program core and user have can play with what you do. You know possibility are endless.

It's a interesting project if you have time and can afford some tech support.

Good luck!

Hi,

Well more than a business interest I was more inclined to the academic interest of the project. As you say "Learning Opportunities". But this is way beyond to be a discrete project sold only once. Still I would like to know the motor control parameters that a PLC should support.
