PLC recomendation

Hi,
I’m looking for some recommendation of a PLC / Industrial Sensor Digitiser that would work well with TouchDesigner.
It’s for interfacing with some NPN / PNP ThruBeam sensors (12v/24v ). Arduino is obviously an option, but since this is for a permanent and outdoor install, I’m looking for something a little more robust potentially.

I’m wondering if anyone in the community has had good experience with a particular product. UDP or TCP/IP protocol would be preferable for longer cable run than Serial.

Thank you.

Somebody (I think Adam Paikowsky) recommended these recently:
