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 ...

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.

A 50 percent reduction in size provides greater packing density for this certified failsafe I/O, which also has six isolated Hart analog inputs between channels and its backplane bus. It supports ...

Two new modules for the vendor’s PACSystems RX3i system are said to reduce downtime, provide high resolution for improved process control and high-performance sampling of data to improve throughput.

Electronic engineers, developers and hobbyists looking for a fully featured Arduino Mega compatible PLC may be interested in a new Indiegogo campaign launched today for a new development board ...
