If you are looking for ways to get information from devices that don’t have
consoles, check out this site. While there are a few places to find process
control interfaces, this is probably the best site. Useful info, compact products,
and a good variety should fill many of your unusual needs, and help you put a
console on hardware.

Black Box has always been a favorite resource. They OEM and rebrand many
products, and provide a wide array of interfacing devices. I’ve also used their
catalogs as teaching materials, because they have useful block diagrams, and
informational notation for using many of the products. Consider getting a
printed catalog for your bookshelf.

Patton Electronics is another vendor with a wide array. The problem with that
is that it’s hard to find a solution on a website if you don’t know what the
solution is already. Luckily, you can easily request a printed catalog from their
web site.
