A different type of parameter display

Just a thought, we have been using these
for some small scale automation projects , very basic programming language (literally read the instructions and go ), the basic model works on 12v accepts 4x 0-10v or 0-5v or 0-12v etc 4-20ma great for temp displays and 4x digital inputs (on/off)_, the anologue blocks are fully scalable and the bar graphs are just drag and drop affairs , extra input modules are available ,4x digital outputs for switching on fans, oil bypass etc , I have been using 4 bar graphs per screen , program one of the inputs to flick between screens and as long as you buy the extra input cards the inputs / outputs are almost unlimited.The front display requires 24v.
The best bit is the price , i only just found out the basic model with screen is £150 , additional input/output modules about £70, unbelievable , i did not think of putting one on a car before just because i expected them to be £0000's of pounds as the bigger PLC's are. If you buy the analogue output it even does pwm for air idle valves etc

well i know what i will be doing next winter ,if i ever get home
