Touted as the world’s first TUV SIL 3 certified Hart failsafe analog input module, the Simatic SM 336 is available for use with Simatic ET 200M I/O and PCS 7F process safety systems. July 1, 2008 A 50 ...

[Scott Harden] has already produced some projects which measure analog inputs. But he’s got plans for more and wanted a base system for graphing analog signals. You can see the small board next to his ...

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 ...

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 ...

The isolated analog input module presented here is particularly suitable for industrial electronics applications. Sending analog signals from field sensors over long-distance cables is often difficult ...

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 ...

In industrial automation, analog input modules serve as the critical bridge between field sensors and control systems, converting real-world physical measurements into digital data that drives process ...

The MAQ20-BRDG1 strain gage module has four input channels and can interface to full, half, and quarter bridge sensors using four-wire or six-wire connections. All channels are individually ...

New additions to the WAGO I/O system expands the functionality of the 750 series. 750-450 4-Channel and 750-451 8-channel RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) Analog Input Modules directly connect to ...

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 ...

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 ...
