full[er]-featured light stack?

Has anyone run across a light stack (like something that would be on top of a piece of heavy equipment on a factory floor to tell the operator that there's a problem that needs addressing) that - has multiple lights of relatively standard colors (e.g., read, yellow, green, blue) - allows each light to be independently controlled (on/off/ flashing) - allows control via RS-232 or USB (with the latter either emulating an RS-232 connection via an internal converter or having Linux 2.6.23+ support) - has audio output (audio alarm) - has software volume control for the audio - (bonus) allows programmable audio files for driving the audio output

I know Patlight makes some stuff that comes close, but they don't seem to have software volume control or RS-232/USB support.

Anyone seen anything that would fit the bill?

Thanks Jeff

Here's a selection of light towers:

Some have audio alarms.

Here's one that talks DeviceNet:

You can get devices (usually called "Master Simulators") which will connect USB to DeviceNet.

Without the audio part, one interesting thing I also found in this context was
