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 ...

Expanding the EtherStax series of Ethernet I/O modules from Acromag are two analog-output units offering 16 channels of current-output or voltage-output control signals with 16-bit D/A resolution.

AutomationDirect’s Productivity2000 programmable controller line now includes 12 and 13-bit resolution current and voltage analog input and output modules for cost-conscious applications.

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 ...

Acromag expands their line of BusWorksXT Ethernet I/O modules that are ideal for remote monitoring, distributed control, or SCADA applications. Models are offered in Ethernet communication protocols ...

Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, Inc. has announced new modules and protocols for its remote terminal unit or programmable logic control platform, the SEL-2240 Axion. Customers can now order ...

Semiconductor manufacturers have developed innovative production techniques that enable the integration of multiple components and a dc-dc converter IC die into a single module. Producing such a dc-dc ...

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 ...
