I have seen all of the control panel stuff. I am curious how they do the i/o? I didn't know if it was some off the shelf system or a custom i/o board. Don't post anything on the site that is propritary. I don't want to get myself or anyone else in trouble for that matter. I didn't mean to make a big deal out of this.

I started thinking the touch screen was cool and one thing has lead to another and now I have a nettop pc powering a 3M Touchstone touchscreen monitor. I can connect that to the PLC and eliminate my old analog control panel. The more I look at it I think with the right i/o board I can control everything from the pc itself and eliminate the PLC. To make this perfectly clear I am not intending to copy Anatol or any other manufacturer for that matter.
I am currently looking at possibly using something like this:
