Programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are an essential part of the automation sector, particularly factory automation. PLCs are classified as voltage and current inputs and convert real-world signals ...

In the previous two issues of this newsletter, we looked at troubleshooting digital input modules. Basically, we looked for the presence or absence of a voltage. With analog modules, it's trickier ...

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Okika Devices today announced the launch of its new Chameleon™ product family — a tiny yet powerful analog module that adapts to a wide range of analog design ...

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.

Enlisting the latest Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA, the ICS-1572A ADC/DAC transceiver XMC module delivers 16-bit data acquisition at rates to 250 MHz. The module packs two 16-bit ADCs sampling synchronously at ...

Promising to make controlling an analog output via a serial port a snap, the D3000M series Modbus-compatible smart digital-to-analog modules combine a 12-bit DAC with programmable analog output ...
