Lightbulb 1 controller versus 9 or 12

Hi

Well I am only assuming I need 9 single transmitters as the user or operator will be in 9 different positions spread across about 50 feet and each user or operator may or may not want to use the servo. So if I can fine a controller that will allow this type of flexibility for 9 users yea I guess it would work.

Like I said this is not your usually application but if I can find the correct parts it should work fine! Here is the deal I have a shooting range that has 9 retrievals positions that move up to 100 feet on a rail. What the servo will do is turn the target on edge 90 degrees or present the targets face. A PLC (Programmable Logic Array) will control the turning of the target at a specific distance for a specific time and for a interval of time! So why RC servo because the targets move on a cable system and a wired system is not possible over at 100 feet.

The master controller would talk to each of 9 PLC's and instruct them to turn.

I told you it was an unusual application!
