Thanks for the advice gentlemen...

I'm way more familiar with PLC's than the other solutions having worked in maintenance of industrial process control for over 10 years... but, I take your point(s) ASCOM compatibility probably should be prioritised.

Off the shelf? would anyone care to point me in the right direction?

cheers,

Incidentally... part of the control system would include (observatory) temperature management, so at least 2 or 3 analogue inputs would be desirable. control output could be as a simple as a couple of solid state relays... I like PLC's because the architecture is solid, reliable, idiot proof and can be expanded easily.


I have no experience with the other options.

best,
~c
