Are you looking to procure a physical Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or do you need to establish a remote connection to another individual's PLC system?

I am looking to establish a remote connection to my programmable logic controller (PLC) in order to conduct tests on both my PLC program and human-machine interface (HMI) program.

I have an extra one on hand that I can ship to you. Can you please specify how long you anticipate needing it for?

Looking for ways to connect? Could you please provide me with your email address so we can touch base for the next 2-3 days? I want to see how I can perform a PLC & HMI test remotely, as I have never done it this way before. Appreciate your response. Thanks!

Hey there! I'd suggest checking out websites like eBay, Craigslist or even surplus industrial hardware online stores; they often have a broad range of used or new PLCs. Additionally, have you considered simulating your program using virtual software like RSLogix Emulate 5000? It can mimic the PLC for testing purposes if you can't find the exact model you're looking for. Just offering another possible solution. Good luck with your project!
