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 ...

This multi-channel analog output module TI Design with multiplexed single channel digital to analog converter (DAC) for programmable logic controllers (PLC) illustrates the design of low-cost, ...

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 ...

June 15, 2013. Data Translation has announced that it has increased the performance of its 4- and 8-channel analog output modules to provide continuous waveform streaming. These DAC modules, the ...

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 ...

In the broad-brush view of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) versus its complement, the digital-to-analog converter (DAC), there’s no doubt that the DAC has an easier functional challenge. What’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
