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 ...

With integrated diagnostics and override functions, PLCs have become easier to use and much less expensive. Before the automotive industry discovered the advantages of programmable logic controllers ...

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 ...

The rapid evolution of electronic system design has underscored the importance of Field Programmable Analog Arrays (FPAAs) and mixed‐signal systems in achieving flexible, energy‐efficient processing.

AnalogPAK devices are part of Renesas’ GreenPAK™ Family of Programmable Mixed-Signal Matrix products: cost-effective, NVM programmable devices which enable innovators to integrate many system ...

The following tutorial will explain how to transform the potential of popular microcontrollers into programmable logic controllers (PLCs). This primer is for those who want to begin learning about ...

Narrow-band low-frequency power-line communications (NB LF PLC) is a hot topic these days. Engineers creating PLC modems must consider which PLC standard (PRIME, G3, S-FSK) will be used and which ...
