Yes amusing you can use modbus. I am doing the same thing myself. I am almost done with a modbus driver for ros that runs over serial and Ethernet. You can simply have ROS read a register and write to one to set the velocity. I am using the Precision 2000 PLC from automation direct and have gotten a refresh rate of 20 registers at around 50Hz over Ethernet. Look out on my github in the next few weeks for me to publish it. https://github.com/sonyccd

Update: I finished the PLC driver you can download it from here. https://github.com/sonyccd/ros_plc_modbus
