It's a long shot but ........ Has anyone seen interface cards/circuits for sale to provide this protection to a microcontroller? I'm thinking of a small multi-port add-in board that would provide a level of protection similar to what a typical PLC has. --Jeff Brent Brown wrote: > Circuits vary, but some of the things they have are: Low impedance to prevent false > triggering, plus good filtering.
