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 ...

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 ...

Logic Beach introduces the ILIM-7 interface module, the first in a series of add-on expansion modules for the company’s IntelliLogger network-connected data-acquisition and alarming system. The ILIM-7 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The 8B50/51 analog voltage input modules have a filter bandwidth of 20 kHz, significantly larger than the 1 kHz bandwidth of earlier models. Accuracy is specified at ±0.10%, and linearity at ±0.05%.

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 ...
