So, I have just come into possession of an Allen Bradley SLC 500 Process Logic Controller (PLC). I have been working on my Brutus/electric hybrid system, and was about half way through building the control panel when my brother casually commented, "You know what you need is a pee-elle-cee." (His speech would have come out in nice capital letters, but we had been enjoying a few.) "Sure," says I, "but I am already way under water budget wise on this thing."
Fast forward a few weeks later now and he drops this on me from some equipment his company is retiring. The timing could not have been worse.
My question is, has anybody ever worked with one of these? How do you go about programming them? I am a Linux/Web administrator, so I am not afraid of having to dive into the deep end of things, but am hoping there might be a few life guards out there.
