I'm attempting to start some process control using Python. I've have quite a bit of literature on networking, and have made some tinkering servers and clients for different protocols HTTP, FTP, etc... But now it's time for the murky web of industrial protocol. I'm looking to start with IO and servo controls via Ethernet.
Questions: Is there an existing forum on this already? What protocols are the most python friendly? i.e. are transparent enough that i can create my own python driver. (or do these drivers exist?) What ethernet accesible servo and IO industrial devices have people had success with? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
