I am looking for a low-cost computer platform with discrete I/O capabilitiy and an Ethernet interface.
I need something in a box / mechanical enclosure ready to use in an industrial setting. The application is simple, not very processor intensive, process some inputs and transmit an IP / Ethernet packet; receive a packet and drive some outputs. Unfortunately it is very custom application. I either need a powerful scripting interface or the ability to write my own application. I would prefer not design any custom hardware or mechanicals as the quantity does not justify it. If I could find a platform to both develop and ship it in, that would be great.
Does anyone know of a product that would fit this niche? Any help is appreciated.
