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 ...

Two analog-output modules, the BusWorks 972EN and 973EN, convert Ethernet Modbus/TCP instructions from network controllers to DC voltage or current outputs for driving as many as six measurement or ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

In previous issues, we have discussed troubleshooting input modules. In the examples, the output modules checked out OK. But what if they don't? As with input modules, output modules can be digital or ...
