Actually, I found the video the same way I found out you made this post — Google Alerts. Someone had a Google alert set for “Phoenix Contact”. The link popped up and they emailed it to me. Even more fun, we had a management meet in the afternoon and we started the meeting by playing the video for about 50 managers. It truly is a connected world. Please send me an email, so I can reply with a private message (I assume you can see my email address).

That’s really funny, how did you find this so quick Jeff? That post was 1 day old.
I work for an integrator in Fairfield NJ, we buy a lot of phoenix contact stuff, which is how I got that PLC. It is SUPER easy to set up and program. Bonus points for using the USB cable and free software. I got the PLC from a Phoenix class I took at GCF in Northvale.

Cool application. That Phoenix Contact controller you used is call the Nanoline. Even though you didn’t program it really is the easiest on the market. For example you could program it to automatically close your door, after 5 minutes, or at 6 pm if it was left open.
If you have other ideas drop me a note I may be able to help. Jeff (Nanoline Product Manager).
