Seeking Infrared Controller

Seeking Infrared Controller

Seeking Infrared Controller

(OP)
Can anyone point me in a direction to an Infrared Transmitter / Receiver controller?  I need the ability to send and receive analog and discrete signals between a handheld and the control.  Specifically, I would like to send a position value via Infrared and communicate via RS-485 to a PLC.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Seeking Infrared Controller

(OP)
Thanks Macbeth.  I have been to the IRDA site before.  However, I'm looking for a pre-packaged, industrial grade solution.  IRDA appears to relate more to the component level.  The Xantech link does present some good ideas.

Thanks again!
