You can use NI OPC server (http://www.ni.com/opc/) for work with PLC (Ethernet connection).

thanks but that's not what i had in mind. how about if i built the board myself, as i just want some sensors to connect to a MCU and then the output of the MCU will be transfered to the computer serially. is it possible to use the serial functions of matlab directly with such a random non-ni board?

matlab? Are you sure you're at the right place? :wink:

If you meant :labview:, then yes. VISA can work with anything that registers itself as a serial port in the system.
