In our previous two issues, we discussed troubleshooting digital output modules. Troubleshooting analog modules is a bit more complicated, for two reasons: Analog modules aren't on/off, as digital ...

I/O modules are building blocks of industrial control systems used in end equipment such as PLC (Programmable Logic Controllers), PAC (Programmable Automation Controller) and DCS (Distributed Control ...

AutomationDirect's Productivity2000 programmable logic controller provides two independent single-ended 5-24 VDC inputs that accept up to 100kHz of pulse/direction and quadrature signals. The ...

New AC and DC discrete I/O modules include 8-point, 100-120 VAC input and output modules, 8- and 15-point, 3.3-24 VDC input and output modules and high-density, 32-point,12-24 VDC input modules. The I ...

PLC evaluation board applications for industrial process-controlsystems are diverse, ranging from simple traffic control to complexelectrical power grids, from environmental control systems ...

Designers of digital systems are familiar with implementing the 'leftovers' of their digital design by using FPGAs and CPLDs to glue together various processors, memories, and standard function ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...

Lisbon, Portugal, October 4, 2022 — ADDAC System introduces two new Eurorack modules: the ADDAC710 Balanced Outputs and the ADDAC711 Balanced Inputs. The new modules are designed to keep your modular ...

Telecom and data-communications equipment commonly use small-formfactor pluggable (SFP) modules for the physical-layer interface. Also common in these systems is an I 2 C bus for the management data ...

Does the module's output correspond correctly to its input? Determine that by forcing the PLC output to 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 90% and measuring on the output terminals at the corresponding range ...
