Where to start

alecw110:
My PLC isn't capable of recieiving the position from the potentiometer in the servo, so I am looking to use an arduino to control that specific part of my project.

That does not make sense to me, unless you make your own servo.

Normally you you set the position of a servo with the width of a pulse.
The servo takes care of the positioning (with the help/feedback of an internal position sensor, pot or otherwise).
