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 ...

Higher amperage relay output modules and an 8-point input simulator module are now available from AutomationDirect for the Click series stackable micro brick PLCs. The Click C0-04TRS-10 ($54.00) is a ...

This post is in response to a reader who asked about detecting mains electricity using a microcontroller. The easiest and safest way to detect mains electricity using a microcontroller is with an ...

Point of Load (PoL) dc-dc converter modules provide regulated dc power to a wide variety of loads. PoLs are small, efficient and relatively inexpensive, so their ability to provide common powering ...

Based on the NXP energy efficient i.MX 91 processor, the SRG091X integrates the NXP IW610G, delivering Wi-Fi 6 in the 2.4GHz ...

Thanks to Ericsson for the following white paper: Industrial equipment intended for relatively small, low power applications where it can be more cost effective than other architectures. The key power ...

In our previous issue, we said a digital output module could be tested by using the PLC logic to force the output on and off then and observing the module’s response. If the module doesn't respond, ...
