The isolated analog input module presented here is particularly suitable for industrial electronics applications. Sending analog signals from field sensors over long-distance cables is often difficult ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

An experienced circuit-design EE once clarified his view of the hierarchy of IC-vendor design support: High-performance, feature-rich ICs were good, application circuits were better, but complete ...

Telecom and data-communications equipment commonly use small-formfactor pluggable (SFP) modules for the physical-layer interface. Also common in these systems is an I 2 C bus for the management data ...
