my controller has a socket for a foot switch, i fancy using it as another shift variable. i'd rather have a on controller button than an actual foot switch,

is a footswitch, just a switch, zero load, negligible resistance i.e. something i can hack together with 1/4 mono jack and a light switch.

i'm starting to think, that with a pretty simple plc, a repeat start script monitoring the port, i could really go to town.

Yes, a foot switch is just a switch. There are variations though.....normally closed, normally open and momentary (non latching) switches.
