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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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%.

AutomationDirect has added more I/O expansion modules to its BRX Micro PLC product line. BRX I/O expansion modules add discrete and analog I/O to the BRX PLC system as needed to expand machine and ...

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 ...

The XT1230 and XT1240 models provide a 16-channel interface for single-ended analog current or voltage input signals with Ethernet/IP, Modbus/TCP, Profinet, or i2o peer-to-peer communication. They ...

When taking measurements from analog sensors located at long distances, voltage drops and noise can affect precision of the readings. Therefore, a voltage-to-current (V/I) module is needed to transmit ...
